User workflow for desktop printing

From the user perspective, the Desktop Printing functionality follows this workflow:

  1. The user needs to print a private document, therefore they select the local workstation printer.
  2. Depending on the document attributes and the rules set for the device, one of three things occur:
    • Equitrac allows the document to print on the local device if the user or release key is validated.
    • Equitrac denies printing to the local device, because the document attributes meet or exceed criteria defined in the print rules for that device, and delete the print request.
    • The user receives a warning that the document attributes meet or exceed criteria defined in the print rules for that device. The user can choose another printer, or elect to over-ride the warning and print to the local device anyway.
