Finding Files

You can locate files in the Print Station browser window by browsing the available folders and files or by using the search field.

Print Station displays only those files that the current user has permission to read. If the file that you want is not displayed and you know it exists in the specified folder, verify that you have the required permissions to read the document.

To view a file's permissions, use Windows Explorer to locate the file, click Properties on the file's context menu, and then click the Security tab. You may have to request permission from your system administrator to read this file.

ClosedBrowsing for a File

If either the Show folders in browser option or the Show folder navigator option is selected in the Administrative Setup dialog, folders are available for you to browse. If folders are not available, you can browse the available files by using the browser window's scroll bar.

ClosedTo browse for a file by using the folder navigator

  1. In the folder navigator, click the folder that you want to open to display its contents in the browser window. Alternatively, click next to the folder name to list its subfolders in the folder navigator. Repeat this process until the folder that you want to open is listed, and then click the folder to display its contents in the browser window.

  2. After you click the specific folder (or subfolder) that contains the file that you want to print and its contents are displayed in the browser window, you can use the browser window's scroll bar to browse through the folder contents and locate the file. Alternatively, you can use the search field to locate the file.

If you or an administrator has selected the Show folder navigator option but not Show folders in browser, and you click a top-level folder in the folder navigator that contains nothing but subfolders, a message is displayed that reads "No BarTender documents (*.btw), process files (*btproc), or BTXML Script files (*.btxml) were found." To view files, expand the top-level level folder, and then click any of the subfolders inside it.
