Why are printers named ASD, BNM, ... ?

All Printix printers gets a unique three-letter ID, also known as, the printer ID. This makes it efficient to search for printers and easy to identify the printers.

Search for printer is efficient

• If Printix manage 26 or fewer printers you only have to enter the first letter when searching for a printer.

Identifying the printer is made easy

• Printer ID sign mounted on the physical printer includes the printer ID.
• Print queues are named so they include the printer ID.

How many printers can be supported?

The three-letter ID is based on the alphabet's 26 letters and allows for up to around 2200 printers. If you need more, the software will automatically use four-letter IDs.

Keyboard sequence

The sequence of the letters for the first 78 printer IDs are grouped together on the keyboard to optimize searching for printers by their ID.
