• as the default printer in the user's selected template. This is the greatest level of specificity.
• as the default printer when a user is logged into a print program or report. The default printer selection is then by user and by program.
• as the default printer for a user by company.
• using the FACTS system-wide default printer .
• for a user from User Preferences F/M (SMF410). The default printer selection is then by user.
• for a user from User Preferences F/M (SMF410) is the least level of specificity.
