Printer zones are necessary only if you want to print the same form to more than one printer in the same location. You can also user printer zones to restrict user access to specific printers.  

You use this routine to set up your printer zones, then use the Create a User routines to assign printer zones to users.  For example, your sales people may need access to the SALES zone but not the REPORT zone.  You can use printer zones to limit user access to printers in specific zones.

Once you set up your printer zones and assign them to users, users then need to select a printer zone at the Printer Zone field in the User Print Settings, and then select a printer from the Printer Definitions screen whenever they log on to the system.

Logical PrintersUse this field to identify the printers you want to include in this zone. If you click on the Search button, a list of logical printers appears, from which you can choose one or more.  If you click on the Action button, the Multiple Printer Selection window appears, from which you can choose one or more printers.

Use the entry screen available from the Action option at this field to enter the Printer number (from the Printer Settings) for each printer in this zone.
