Configuring Xprint V7.0

Administering recovery rules

Enter your recovery rules in the file using the following format:

Every line of the source file defines one recovery rule. Comment lines must start with the hash character (#) in the first column. Use the following format to define recovery rules:

error_code:[maximum_time]:[exception_rule_ID]:list_of_actions:

The specifications for the fields in square brackets may be omitted, but the colons for separating the fields are mandatory.

error_code is the key under which the recovery rule files are to be accessed. It can contain either an Xprint V7.0 printer error code or an action for handling a recurring error. This field is mandatory. The following printer error codes are supported:

Table 23: Supported printer error codes

maximum_time is an option which must be specified together with the exception_rule_ID field. It activates the selection of a specific action if an error keeps recurring. By default, the value INFINITE is used. The value must lie between 0 and 65535 seconds. If the error persists after this time, Xprint V7.0 selects the action specified in the field exception_rule_ID.

You can set a printer automatically to the status NOT_ACTIVE, for example, if the paper supply is not refilled within the specified time.
