Configure Print to DocLink Options

Setting the options for the Print to DocLink printer is done on a per-workstation basis. What this means is that every user who requires this functionality must configure their preferred settings in Smart Client.

Within the DocLink Smart Client, go to the Index menu and select Print to DocLink Options….
Use the Select Printer drop-down to select the Print to DocLink printer, then configure the options you want:

Option	Description
Notify me when new documents have been printed	Select this option to get a popup when documents are printed to the ‘Print to DocLink’ printer (See below).
Preserve color when converting documents to TIFF	Select this option to save color documents
Convert XPS print jobs to PDF	Select this option to convert jobs into PDF files for indexing into DocLink. *For XPS printing and non-PDF file types only.

If you want to index existing PDF files into DocLink, use Drag & Drop Indexing. Using the Print to DocLink XPS feature may result in a PDF file size that is much larger than the original.

Information on Drag & Drop Indexing can be found in the User Guide.

When the Notify me when new documents have been printed option is enabled, you will be prompted to index documents

Each time a document is printed to your Print to DocLink printer and if Smart Client is already open.
When you log into Smart Client after a new document has been printed since the last time the application was open.

If Auto Check for New Print Jobs is not enabled, you will need to go to the Index menu in the Smart Client main window and select Index Printed Documents…, then:
