Printer Pooling
A printer pool treats a group of printers as one printer and distributes print jobs
among the available printers. Printer pooling is used in card production
environments in which an application prints to a group of printers. The user
chooses to print to the pool and the pool distributes the print jobs to the next
available printer.

Printer Pooling Requirements
•
All printers in the pool must be the same model with the same features
installed.
•
Interactive mode print jobs such as smart card processing or magnetic stripe
read commands cannot be processed on printers belonging to a printer pool.
These features require a printer to PC direct connection.
•
All printers should have the same type of supplies installed and the same
settings applied.
•
Use the settings in Printer Manager to set magnetic stripe values for each
printer and for the printer pool. Set all printers and the printer pool to the
same values. See
“Open the Printer Manager” for more information.
•
All printers must be connected using an Ethernet cable. Printer pooling is not
supported for USB-connected printers.
Operating Systems Supported
Printer pooling is supported on all driver-supported operating systems. For more
information on supported operating systems, see
