Configuration Tool menus

The BrightQ-Pro Configuration Tool is the main graphical administrative interface. Launch it from the installed desktop menu or run:

codehost-config

The interface exposes a configured-printers list and menu options for registering and licensing, adding/removing queues, printing test pages, selecting defaults, viewing jobs, and reviewing printer status.
