Issue/Symptoms
A printer with a cutter is not cutting, mirror print in the driver is not applying, tear-off mode is not working, heat level or print speed changes, or other settings in the driver are not working with Data Automation but do work when printing from Brady Workstation.
Resolution
Change User Settings on DA Service when using a Printer that is not applying driver settings. Make sure the user also has appropriate driver permissions in the driver security tab.
Note:
- The account may need to be a user account with admin rights, not a service account.
- The user account configured must be the same account configured for security access in driver properties: Printer Drivers - Enable Driver Security Permissions.
- If the user's password changes, they will need to update it separately as well.
Configure the Driver

- Find the printer in the list and select it.
- Click Printer Properties.

- Click Security tab.

- Click Add and add the user account that will be used when Data Automation is run.
- Click all of the boxes to Allow.
- Click Apply.
