Configuration Settings when Using the Pull Print Feature with a RICOH Streamline NX Server

This section describes how to configure your RICOH Streamline NX server to work with the InfoPrint Manager Pull Print Feature. For more detailed information on how to configure and use Streamline NX, see the Streamline NX documentation.

Adding a new InfoPrint Manager server in Streamline NX

When adding a new InfoPrint Manager server in Streamline NX, you must configure the delegation server settings and then add the InfoPrint Manager external print system.

To configure delegation server settings:

  1. Log in to the RICOH Streamline NX application with a user account that has Customer Engineer role.
  2. Select System Advanced System Settings Editor. This editor is only available for the Customer Engineer role.
  3. In the Advanced System Settings Editor, select View Delegation Server Settings.
  4. For each delegation server on which a connector is installed:
    1. Select the delegation server.
    2. Select the Add button () in the Configuration keys table and name the key ds.print.xsc.activate.
    3. Enter Text for Type and 1 for Value.
    4. Select the Add button () again and name the key ds.print.xsc.pull.
    5. Enter Boolean for Type. For Value, see Choosing the value for the ds.print.xsc.pull key. This key controls how Streamline NX instructs InfoPrint Manager to deliver a job when the user releases it at the printer.

      Choosing the value for the ds.print.xsc.pull key

      Deployment Value Behavior
      Pull job from printer true The printer initiates the request and InfoPrint Manager streams the job data back through that channel. It supports Anyplace queues only.
      Push job from InfoPrint Manager false or key absent InfoPrint Manager initiates a direct connection to the printer and pushes the job. It supports both Anyplace and pull-print-printer queues.
        Important:
      • Using printers with pull-print-printer=true configured in InfoPrint Manager when SLNX has ds.print.xsc.pull=true is not supported. Jobs submitted to pull-print-printer queues will silently fail at the printer with no error shown on the panel.

To add the InfoPrint Manager external print system:

  1. Go to System External Print Systems IPM.
  2. Select the Add button ()
  3. In the Settings panel, enter the source server URL:
    Queue scope URL
    Anyplace queues only http://IPMServerName_or_IPAddress:14080/ipmnx
    Anyplace queues only (secure) https://IPMServerName_or_IPAddress:14443/ipmnx
    Anyplace and pull-print queues http://IPMServerName_or_IPAddress:14080/ipmnx:all
    Anyplace and pull-print queues (secure) https://IPMServerName_or_IPAddress:14443/ipmnx:all
      Note:
    • The :all suffix instructs Streamline NX to request both Anyplace and pull-print jobs via GetJobList. Use it only in on-premises deployments where ds.print.xsc.pull is false or absent.
  4. Do not change the default settings for the Input Queue Type and Output Queue Mapping options.
  5. To save your settings, select the Save button ().
