Pre-requisites

The prerequisites will depend on the type of installation selected, observe the available types and click to verify all the requisites.

Default:

Enables all print controls: Accounting, quotas, policies, collect of counters and USB printer's supply status.

Hardware

Minimum configuration
Processor Dual-Core 2.0GHz;
Memory: 2GB;
Disk Space: Greater than 70MB for the installation of the NDD Print Agent e required components;
Disk Space: Greater than 70MB for the installation of the NDD Print Agent e required components; Free Space for Print Spool Data Processing (may vary depending on the print volume).

Minimum configuration - For Print Server with stations on "only notifications" mode
Processor Quad-Core 3.5GHz;
Memory: 8GB;
Disk Space: Greater than 70MB for the installation of the NDD Print Agent and required components; Free Space for Print Spool Data Processing (may vary depending on the print volume).
It is important to observe that: The Memory consumption and processing may vary depending on the number of users printing and the print volume generated. Minimum configuration supports an environment with approximately 5.000 workstations. We recommend using a dedicated server for the printings, otherwise may occur slowness and processing issues.
