The Printer element is used to automatically specify the printer(s) to be used when documents are printed from within the Front Office Scanning client:

<Printer>ER_Registration</Printer>

Specify the printer name directly between the Printer tags (e.g., ER_Registration).

If the printer will be accessed via a network location, you must also specify a valid UNC path to the printer (e.g., \\SRV-PRN) before the printer name:

<Printer>\\SRV-PRN\ER_Registration</Printer>

Alternatively, the default Windows printer may be specified by setting the printer name to default:

<Printer>default</Printer>
Tip:

When used in conjunction with other settings (i.e., when the autoprint or preprint settings in the DocType element are set to true), a document can be automatically printed when it is scanned/created, allowing users to print documents without the Print dialog box being displayed (if you do not want the user to have to select a printer or be able to make changes to printing options in the Print dialog box).
