The TotalFlow BatchBuilder system uses the selected language to apply the localization and generate the PDF batch ticket file. -------- Limitations ----------------- - Check the disk space constantly The application is continuously receiving new orders and the retention time is quite large. When the hard drive is running out of space, the operating system and the application might freeze and become unresponsive. You must monitor the hard drive constantly. Check the available hard disk space or plan ahead the hard drive space allocated for TotalFlow BatchBuilder. If the system is receiving daily new orders and large volume of PDF jobs, adjust the retention time for printed orders and batches. - If you want to use secure HTTP connections, you have to provide and configure your own secure certificates to the Apache Tomcat 7 Web server for covering the HTTPS aspects. - The maximum amount of jobs retained within the system is currently approximately 40000. If you exceed this value, the system might experience delays in displaying information. Adjust the retention time properly for batches and orders. - When the incomming PDF files are encrypted, TotalFlow BatchBuilder cannot determine the correct number of pages or the document page size. For a correct estimation, send the PDF files without any encryption set or adjust the values manually using the edit job function. -------- Trademarks --------- * Microsoft, Windows, Windows Server, Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Internet Explorer are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries. * Firefox is a registered trademark of the Mozilla Foundation. * Google Chrome is a registered trademark of Google Inc. * Safari is a registered trademark of Apple Inc. * TotalFlow is a trademark or registered trademark of RICOH Co., Ltd. * Oracle and Java are registered trademarks of Oracle and/or its affiliates. * Adobe, Acrobat, Flash, and PostScript are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Adobe Systems Incorporated in the United States and/or other countries. * SafeNet code: The license management portion of this Licensee Application is based upon one or more of the following copyrights: Sentinel ® RMS Copyright 1989-2006 SafeNet, Inc.
