PrintNode Overview
PrintNode is a hosted printing service that securely adds remote printing to the Merchanter application. Only one instance of the software can be installed in one location. For example if a branch/depot wants to use 4 printers with Merchanter, all the 4 printers must be configured and visible on the PC where PrintNode will be installed.
PrintNode does not affect the normal usage of the connected printers and the printers can still be used for other applications.
The PrintNode must remain connected, and the PC must stay at all times for printers to work.
