Setup Job Forwarding For Printer To Printer In Docusp - Xerox 6100BD - Phaser Color Laser Printer Manual

Setup Job Forwarding for Printer to Printer in DocuSP

The ability to forward a job from one DocuSP printer to a second DocuSP printer is an added
feature of DocuSP version 3.6. Job Forwarding allows the Trusted User or Administrator to select
any active job from the Job Manager and forward it to another DocuSP 3.1 or later system.
To set up Job Forwarding, add the printer that will be receiving the job to the host table on the
sending machine.
1. Login as an Administrator. See the Related Items below for additional information.
2. Right-click on the background of the DocuSP 2000 Series screen outside of the DocuSP
windows. A menu will be displayed.
3. Select [Tools]. A workspace menu will open.
4. Select [Terminal]. The Terminal window will be displayed.
5. Type: su and then press [Enter] on the keyboard.
6. Enter the root password, and then press [Enter].
7. Type: admintool, and then press [Enter]. The Admintool window will be displayed.

10. Enter the IP Address and the host name of the machine that will receive the jobs in the
fields provided. See the Related Items below. You may want to match the actual host
name listed under Diagnostics on the other machine, but it is not required. The host
name may be any name as long as it is unique on the network.
11. Click [OK] to add the new host name.
12. Click on [File] from the toolbar, and then select [Exit] to close the Admintool window.

'Retain PDL files of the last 50 jobs' is enabled.
16. Select the printer that you want to forward the job to from the pull-down menu.
17. Enter the name of the queue that you want to print to in the field provided.
18. Click [OK]. Status messages about the job that is being forwarded will be displayed; one
indicating that the job is being forwarded, and the other indicating when it is complete.
19. Click on [Close] when complete.
NOTES:
•
The selected job and the job attributes are copied from the DocuSP job database and
submitted using the lpr gateway to the receiving DocuSP. When forwarding is complete,
the job may be deleted or held at the originating DocuSP controller. The option to retain
or delete the forwarded job at the originating DocuSP controller can be set within the Job
Forwarding window.
•
A job must be completely spooled onto the DocuSP controller before it can be forwarded
to another DocuSP.
•
There is no error recovery for forwarded jobs. If a network or connectivity problem occurs
during the forwarding process, the job may be lost. If the job is critical, set the post-
forwarding options to retain the job.
•
You cannot forward a job that requires file referencing, such as DigiPath, VIPP, or
