Quantum VS Help: Finder |
You may use the Finder to:
show details of your Printers;
locate a specific Printer record; and
open a Printer record for viewing/editing.
Note: Rather than using your mouse, it is possible to use your keyboard to activate the required record type in the Finder, browse records in the Finder, then open the record in a new tab or add it to an open document. See Using Keyboard Shortcuts With The Finder.
To show Printers in the Finder:
From the Home tab: under search, select Printers.
Or: Use the search section in the Mega Menu to select Printers.
Or: From the main menu: select Edit > Search, then select Printers.
Or: In the Finder: click the 'down' arrow on the Search... button and select Printers from the menu.
Your Printer records will be listed in the Finder. For example:
For further details and column definitions see Printer Maintenance.
Note: You may change the sequence of records displayed - see Changing The Search Sequence.
If more than one page of records is displayed in the Finder you may click the blue arrow keys on the Finder Toolbar to scroll through pages of records and/or enter/select a page number. For example, entering 40 will show the 40th page of results. See Browsing Records in The Finder.
To open the required record from the Finder, either:
Click the Printer hyperlink of the record you wish to open.
Or: Right-click on the line of the record, then select the View... option.
The record will open in a new tab. For further details see Printer Maintenance.
You may wish to alter the sequence in which the records are displayed in the Finder. To do this:
1. Click Advanced on the Finder Toolbar.
2. The Search menu shows the current order in which records are displayed. To change the sequence, select an alternative option from the menu.

Printer: Display Printers (and search results) in Printer code number order.
You may also change the sort order by selecting either A to Z or Z to A.

on the Finder toolbar. The records will be re-sequenced.
To find a specific record without having to browse through pages of records:
