Remote Output
(Network Edition
only)

Remote Output allows you to transfer batches to a Remote Output server for
processing. This is most useful for processing intensive jobs which may
otherwise slow down capture operations, such as jobs which produce
searchable PDF files. Remote Output server configuration is contained in a
server map which is configured as part of the Kodak Capture Pro Software
installation (see the Administrator's Guide for Network Edition).
One or more optional Remote Output servers may be present in a Network
Edition configuration.
A job setup can be configured to always send batches to a particular output
server (Manual Select) or distribute jobs among output servers in a "round
robin" fashion (Auto Select).
• If the Auto Select option is selected, batches will be assigned in rotation to
available output servers. No load balancing will occur.
• If the Manual Select option is selected and the server is "down", an error
will be returned to the application and the user will have to manually select
another server or change the job setup to Auto Select.
When selecting Remote Output servers, it is important to remember that
servers must be properly configured to process any jobs sent to them. Server
configuration is not within the scope of the Network Edition installation. For
example, if a job uses the Invoke Other Program option, the invoked program
must be installed and configured on the output server. This applies to all types
of output including those which rely on external databases or other System
Output Destinations.
