Using Tasks and Task Printers

Tasks and task printers enable batch processing for document conversion, emailing and printing to other windows printers, and uploading to a SharePoint site. An ePrint task printer has the added bonus of being directly accessible from the Windows printer folder, thereby making it possible to convert a document to a predefined location and file type, email the file, print it to a physical printer, and upload the file to a SharePoint site all in one step. Because the task is created as a window printer, all of this is available from any application that supports printing. A task also provides the conversion, printing, email, and uploading to SharePoint functionality, but tasks are only available from the ePrint Workstation.

Tasks are configured in the Task Wizard and Task Printers are created in the ePrint Task Printer Creation Wizard. You can view which tasks are available to you at any time in the Configure Tasks Dialog. The task printers can be viewed and edited from the ePrint Task Printers Manager.
