Determine which masking options you wish to use. Make a list of all the printers you want to add the masking option to. Decide whether you wish to move all printers to a single workstation or wish to arrange to work at multiple workstations. Contact Carswell Data Products (CDP) at 1-800-869-0493 to create a schedule for completing the masking implementation. There is a $25.00 fee for each printer which will be billed to you directly by CDP. CDP will send an e-mail and invite you to a WebEx sessi  More...

The first thing to do is make sure all the cables are connected securely to the printer and the PC. Be sure to note if one of the cables is a network cable. If all of the cables are securely connected and you still cannot print, restart the PC and the printer. If you receive the same error once the printer and PC are back up, there is likely a hardware issue with the printer. If one of the cables that plugs into the printer is a network cable then the Jet Direct card (a network interface   More...

When a device first connects to the iSeries, a virtual device is created - consider it a placeholder for that workstation or printer. Only one device can exist for each ID, which is why only one person can sign into a printer at a time. Throughout the virtual devices lifecycle, there are several different statuses that device can be in. Read below for some details! Workstations VARY ON PENDING - this is the default status of the virtual device. This status means the device is ready and wai  More...

No. The way that normal CU*BASE features work is to use the CU*BASE Workstation Configuration settings to determine a default printer for certain functions, or you can choose a printer directly when printing most CU*BASE reports. But since IBM Query is not a CU*BASE program but rather a generic program offered by IBM, it does not have any way of looking at CU*BASE configs for the info it would need to direct the print job. Therefore a Query definition will go to your list of spooled files and  More...

To take advantage of the CU*Answers online imaging solution, there are a few required pieces of hardware. Each branch will each need an Gweep upload appliance to transfer the electronic images to the secure database. Additionally, scanners are needed to capture photo IDs (and supporting documents for loans), and signature pads are needed at each workstation where receipts are signed. Thermal printers are required for the system. These hardware devices are described in more detail below: Gweep U  More...
