STEP 4:  Adding a Device Profile to the FollowMe Q-Server

 

 

Once the FollowMe Terminal has been attached and configured, one also needs to add a device 
profile into the FollowMe Q-Server software. 

 

Adding the Device Profile 

1)  Add a new printer. 

2)  Select the FollowMe Print Spooler and enter the printers IP Address (or FQDN) and give it a 

descriptive name. 

 

3)  Specify the IP Address (or FQDN) of the FollowMe Terminal. 

 

IMPORTANT:

 The FollowMe Terminal will have a different IP address to the printer/MFP. 

4)  Select a cost model to be associated to that printer. 

 

5)  Select "FollowMe Terminal" from the Embedded drop down selection box.
