Print Rule Compilation

Each print rule can be comprised of specific conditions, the processing action to take, and Target Users/Groups, Target Devices/Groups the rule will apply to.

Condition

Specify conditions under which to perform an action set for a rule applicable to a sent job. When the print settings of a sent job match all or part of the set conditions, or when none of the print settings of a sent job match the set conditions, the set action is performed.

Action

Specify how to process jobs. There are four actions: Confirmation, Routing, Modify, and Notification.

  • Confirmation: Displays a pop-up notification of the details of the action before the action is executed.

  • Routing: Allows, denies, or holds a print job, or redirects a print job to TotalFlow or another printer.

  • Modify: Performs printing after changing the print settings forcibly.

  • Notify: Displays a pop-up notification on the screen of SLNX PC Client when a rule is applied, or sends a notification to users regarding the applied rule.

Target Users/Groups, Target Devices/Groups

Specifies the users or user groups, devices or device groups to apply Print Rules are applied. Only rules that match both users and devices are applied. When no device is selected for [Target Device], Print Rules are applied to all printers (spool) configured with Secure Print Port.

If you select [All Devices] in the [Select Device] window, Print Rules are applied to all devices (release). If you remove the check from [Secure Print Queue], Print Rules are applied to the devices only.

If you don’t select one or more users, groups or target devices, the, Print Rules are applied to all users and devices. It is recommended to configure this setting to search rules more efficiently.

The specified Print Rules are sent to the Delegation Server and SLNX PC Client.

When a user sends a print job from a computer or uses the operation panel of a device to instruct the system to perform a secure print job, the Delegation Server or SLNX PC Client verifies whether there is an applicable rule and, if any, the server or computer applies all actions that meet the conditions.

Print Rules are disabled when the Device Direct Print Function is used and when printing from SLNX PC Client for Mac.
