Using The Performance Simulator - Lexmark C792 Manual

Testing and deploying workflow solutions
6
If you included the profile on the home screen, then click the icon for the profile. If the profile does not appear on
the home screen, then do the following:
a
Click Held Jobs > Profiles.
b
Click the icon for the profile.
The profile launches the associated script on an LDD server.
Note: Some prompts are not supported in interactive mode. When a script includes an unsupported prompt, a
message appears on the emulated printer control panel. Click Next to continue the script after the prompt.
Simulating a scan task
1
Type or browse to the path of a TIFF, JPEG, PDF, or PostScript file to simulate the document to be scanned.
2
Click OK.
To assign a default image file to appear in each Scan File dialog, click File > Properties.
Saving print jobs
Print jobs initiated by a profile are discarded by default. To enable saving print jobs:
1
Make sure you have run the interactive emulator at least once. The configuration that contains the settings for the
interactive emulator is created automatically the first time it is run.
2
Locate the \Profiles\interactive\conf\ folder where the MFP emulator is installed. The default is C:\Program Files
\mfpsimulator\.
3
Open sim‑interactive.properties in a text editor.
4
If necessary, modify the location where print jobs are saved beside interactive.advanced.pj.output=.
5
Change the value beside interactive.advanced.pj.save= to true.
6
If the interactive emulator is open, then close, and then restart it.

Using the performance simulator

Preparing and running tests in the performance simulator
1
From the MFP Simulator configuration window, click File > New Configuration.
2
Type the IP address or host name of the LDD system in the Load Balancer IP field.
3
Type the profile name to execute.
Note: The profile name refers to a device profile created using the Device Policy Editor in the solution. A list of
profiles can also be found in the Profiles task after the solution has been deployed to the relevant device group
in LMC.
4
Select whether to simulate an e‑Task 2 or e‑Task device.
5
Discover the performance simulator and deploy the appropriate solution in LMC:
Note: This step is only necessary if the interactive MFP emulator or performance simulator has not been
discovered, or if the necessary solution has not been deployed.
