Output Manager File Store Requirements
The Output Manager software stores all documents in one or more file store locations. File stores are frequently located on Output Manager core servers or on Output Manager distributed servers, but they can also be defined elsewhere on the network.
The file store size can vary depending on system utilization. A minimum recommended file store location has 500 GB of available space, with the capacity to expand as necessary.
Output Manager Web Client Requirements
The Output Manager Web client requires one of the following browsers:
- Internet Explorer version 11.x and later

- Firefox version 4.x and later
Output Manager high availability requirements
The Output Manager components in a high availability require a load balancer to receive client requests and distribute them to the physical back-end Output Manager servers in the environment. Refer to the documentation for load balancer requirements and for more information on how to add the load balancer to your network.
Output Manager Desktop Client
When planning your deployment, it is recommended that you not exceed 15,000 desktop clients and 500 print jobs/minute per Output Manager backend server (DBM).
