By clicking the Export Device Capabilities command, you can create a file that contains the current configuration settings, thus making the settings available to the client computers connected via the network for printing with Jobstream. Refer also to: How do I export the current printer settings? Note: The HP Designjet 50ps printer cannot be stopped via the HP Designjet 50ps PrintManager. The HP Designjet 50ps PrintManager can only be used to stop the individual virtual printers. To stop the HP Designjet 50ps printer via the software, the Stop button provided in the HP Designjet 50ps EngineManager program on the server must be used. |

 | |  | | Paper display | | | | |
 The paper display indicates the paper size and the material type inserted in the two default trays (tray 1 and 2). As the printer cannot provide any information on the paper types inserted, this display only indicates the paper types entered on the server in the HP Designjet 50ps EngineManager. When the paper type is changed at the printer, be sure to adapt the settings accordingly in this program. For more details, refer to the HP Designjet 50ps EngineManager online help. |

 | |  | | Ink level indicator | | | | |
 The ink level indicator for each of the 6 ink cartridges (on the right: special cartridges for light cyan and light magenta) allows you to exchange a cartridge in time before processing stops due to an empty cartridge. Note: The ink level data can only be displayed if the HP Designjet 50ps printer is connected to the network with the Jetdirect interface card. These data are not shown when the printer is connected directly to the print server's parallel or USB port. Note: The ink level is calculated from usage data and therefore is an approximate value only. |
