Administering recovery rules

Configuring Xprint V7.0

exception_rule_ID is also optional and, if used, must be specified with the field maximum_time. It may consist of any combination of letters and digits; blanks are not allowed. The field must contain a reference to a suitable entry in the error_code field, which itself specifies an action.

list_of_actions specifies the actions to be taken if a specific error occurs. If two or more actions are specified, the individual actions must be separated by blanks. The following actions can be specified:

Action

Description

 

 

Ignore

Ignore error

 

 

Retry

Repeat polling of printer status until READY is returned

 

 

Restart

Restart with last printed page

 

 

Stop

Set device to NOT_ACTIVE and the job to INTERRUPTED

 

 

Suspend

Stop active job

 

 

Respool

Print last document again

 

 

Table 24: Actions for specific errors

The following examples illustrate the structure of a typical recovery rule:

#Key

Time

:

Code

:

Action

:

Stop

:

600

:

stopped :

Retry

:

stopped :

 

:

 

:

Stop

:

In the above example, the rule for stopped is applied if the printer is stopped (by pressing the STOP/PAUSE key) for longer than 600 seconds. Otherwise availability of the printer is checked again or the default action for the current error is used (Retry).

In this example, the rule for stopped is applied if the printer is stopped (by pressing the STOP/PAUSE key) for longer than 600 seconds. Then availability of the printer is checked again (Retry) or (due to the * character) the status of the printer is set to NOT_ACTIVE (Stop) irrespective of the error code.
