The SPF Remote Services user must be added to the Administrators group so that this user has the necessary privileges to start an application (such as SmartPlant Markup Plus) during batch printing.

  • If the defaults were selected in the Server Manager when the site was created, you can add the SPF Remote Services user to the Administrators group. For more information, see Adding SPFRemoteServices to the Administrators group. If SDx was configured manually, you must first determine the user name and password for SPF Remote Services.

  • At least one printer must be installed on the server for batch printing to work.
