Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering recovery rules

The asterisk (*) stands for any error other than those specified earlier in the recovery rules file. The asterisk must be specified as the last rule.

#Key	:	Time	:	Exception	:	Action	:
PowerOFF	:	900	:	stopped	:	Respool	:
stopped	:		:		:	Stop	:

A printer which does not allow polling or handshaking is connected directly to a LAN. In the event of a PowerOFFerror message on the printer, Xprint V7.0 by default restarts the job with the last sent page.

However, as the last page sent is not necessarily the last printed page, the rule above is more useful: In the case of a PowerOFF error message, the document is spooled in again; if the connection cannot be re-established within 15 minutes, the printer is set to the status NOT_ACTIVE so that no more print jobs can be sent to it. Now the printer can be switched back on and/or the problem can be eliminated.

●When you have fully defined your recovery rules, save your file.

●Add the new recovery rule to the Xprint V7.0 system: xpadd -recrule_name -firule_file [-cacomment]

where rule_name is a name you want to assign to a set of new recovery rules in the Xprint V7.0 system and rule_file specifies the file name of the source file you have created. If this file is not located in the Xprint V7.0 directory opt/Xprint/RR, you must specify the absolute path name. With comment you can specify a comment, for example on the purpose of this rule, which can be useful for later administration of recovery rules.

Example

–To add the recovery rule RR1 from the recovery rules file opt/Xprint/RR/my_RR_1:

xpadd -rec RR1 -fi my_RR_1
