The laser setup is a bit clunky since we're making it so that multiple computers can use a single laser, which is not a normal feature of Trotec JobControl. This section attempts to describe the setup so it can be recreated as necessary, |
||
JobControl uses the "Spool Directory" option to know what jobs to load. JobControls installs its own driver that pretends to be a normal printer, |
|||
Essentially, we need to "trick" the printer driver into sending a job to a remote JobControl instance. |
|||
The way that the lab is setup is that, the lab computers mounts a network drive shared from the computer connected to the laser. |
|||
The JobControl executable should be renamed to prevent the executable from loading when "printing" a job from Adobe illusttrator. |
