The Printer Maintenance editor allows the definition of the first 9 printers. The file must be edited manually or with the Configuration Editor found through the filePro Directory choice on the filePro Plus Main Menu. All printers added after #9 must be sequential and not skip any number. If you have PRINTER10, PRINTER11 and PRINTER13 defined, nothing higher than PFPRINTER12 will be recognized.
