Configuration profiles

A configuration profile is used for multiple printers configuration. It is where you can add an installation package and attach it to printers to equip them with embedded terminals.

It is recommended to create a configuration profile per printer type if you have different printer types.

For a quicker setup you can clone your configuration profiles. With minimal editing you can then create a new profile. Printers will not be cloned to this new configuration profile. Go to MyQ, Settings, Configuration Profiles, select a configuration profile and click Clone on the menu bar (or right click and clone).

Configuration profiles are needed for printer discovery.

The following settings can be configured:

General tab

  • Name - It is mandatory to give the profile a name.

  • Price List - Select a price list from the drop-down. For more information on price lists, see Price List.

  • Fax module - If selected, all printed faxes are charged on the FAX user account. It is available only for devices with the FAX option. Select only if the device has a fax module.

  • Printer Credentials - The credentials are used to configure the printer(s) attached to the profile. You can override the defaults with the Printer Credentials in the properties of each printer.

  • Network - Here you can add an SNMP profile: see SNMP profiles, and in MyQ server address select if the network should use the IP address or the Hostname (Hostname is used by default).
