Description

Confirm

Show Pop Up Messages Before Applying Actions

This displays a pop-up notification of the action details before the action is taken. The user can choose to continue printing while applying the rule or cancel printing.

Pop-up notifications appear on the screen in SLNX PC Client only when a print job is sent from the PC Client at the time the rule is applied.

Pop-up notifications appear on the operations screen of the device when the rule is applied at the time the print job is released.

Cost information also appears in a pop-up notification on the screen in SLNX PC Client if [Include Cost Information] is enabled.

Confirm

Show Pop Up Messages Before Applying Actions

When E2EE Server Secure Print and the [Hide Document Name] setting is enabled on SLNX PC Client, the document name displayed by this action is "*****" on the screen of SLNX PC Client, the operation panel of the device, or the job queue on the Management or User Console. When E2EE Client Secure Print is used, the document name is displayed as "*****" only on the operation panel of the device.

Routing

Redirect to TotalFlow

This is the highest priority action during routing. This redirects print jobs to TotalFlow.

Specify the workflow name when specifying this action. [Set Priority to] is not available when specifying this action.

Be sure to enter the workflow name which exists in the TotalFlow system. If the specified name is not correct or the TotalFlow system is not available to accept the redirected print job and the job cannot be redirected to TotalFlow, the job will be processed as if the rule was not applied, and it will be recorded in the system log. The delegation server does not resend the job to TotalFlow at a later time.

See the TotalFlow documentation for the configuration of a workflow compatible with SLNX.

To integrate TotalFlow system, the TotalFlow URL must be specified in System    External Print Systems. For details, refer to XSC Overview

Routing

Deny

This is the second highest priority action during routing. The print job is deleted without being held or printed.

Routing

Hold

This is the third highest priority action during Routing. The print job should be printed later.

Routing

Redirect to Printer

This is the fourth highest priority action during routing. This redirects print jobs to a specified print queue.

The redirect results are specified using [Set Priority to] for the priority within the queue of the print jobs spooled in the printer of the redirect destination.

Routing

Allow

This is the lowest priority action during routing.

This allows the printing process in the current queue. Secure print jobs are held. All other print jobs are printed immediately.

Modify

Force B&W

Color print jobs are forcibly printed in black and white. This does not apply to print jobs from the RPCS driver. This setting neither applies to E2EE Server Secure Print jobs when using the Standard Operation Panel, or the Smart Operation Panel in Standard Operation mode.

Modify

Force 2 Sided

Print jobs are forcibly printed on two sides. This does not apply to E2EE Server Secure Print jobs when using the Standard Operation Panel, or the Smart Operation Panel in Standard Operation mode.

Modify

Do not Allow Release

[Do not Allow Release] is enabled only when a secure print job is printed. When the job is not allowed to be released, an error message will appear on the operation panel of the device, and the job is not released. The job is not deleted from the server until the job storage period configured by the administrator elapses, so it may be released if the print rule is changed.

Notify

Show Pop Up Message

A pop-up notification appears after a rule is applied. If Print Rules are triggered at the time of job submission from SLNX PC Client, the notification appears on the screen of SLNX PC Client. The notification does not appear on the operation panel of the device.

You can add metadata to the notification details. For details, refer to Include Metadata in Pop-up Notifications.

Notify

Send Email

This sends an e-mail to the user after a rule is applied. If the user's e-mail address is not registered or the job is sent from SLNX PC Client, an e-mail is not sent.

Enter the subject and main body of the e-mail.

You can add metadata to the subject and main body of the e-mail. For details, refer to Include Metadata in Email Notifications.

When E2EE Server Secure Print is used and the [Hide Document Name] setting is enabled on SLNX PC Client, document name metadata is added to the subject or main body of the notification e- mail as "*****".
