User-Defined Search Paths For A Single Job; Map A Network Drive - Canon imagePRESS Server В5000 Configuration And Setup

2 In the Add Path dialog box, enter a path in the Common Global Path field. For example, use the format of a
mapped drive (for example, Z:\folder) or a UNC (for example, \\computer name\folder).
3 If the path is located on a computer that requires authentication, select Remote Server Authentication, enter the
appropriate user name and password, and click OK.
4 Click OK.
5 If required, add more paths.

User-defined search paths for a single job

A user can enter a single search path when the user sends the job from a Windows printer driver, or when someone
later overrides the job to include a search path.
The path must be fewer than 256 characters, and in the format of a mapped drive (for example, Z:\folder) or a UNC
(for example, \\computer name\folder).
To use a mapped drive, it must be recognized by the imagePRESS Server. For example, if the user specifies a path on
the user's computer (for example, C:\My Documents\VDP), the imagePRESS Server assumes this is the C:\ drive on
the imagePRESS Server. In another example, if "Z:" is a network drive that users access on their network, the
imagePRESS Server does not know the location to which "Z:" refers. Therefore, you must map a drive so that the
imagePRESS Server also recognizes the location where resources are stored.
