Email and progress updates

You can send an email during job processing, with the SendEmail step or with a notification object.

The SendEmail step sends an email when the job reaches that step and can include a job or part of a job as an attachment. The email can include an update about a job's progress through the system.

A notification object sends an email when certain input device, job or printer events happen to notify users of the status of a input device, job or printer.

In this section:

  1. Configuring to send email during processing
    You can configure RICOH ProcessDirector to send email as a step in a workflow, or send email notifications when input device, printer or job events occur.
  2. Emailing files during job processing
    You can use the SendEmail step template to email a job, a page range from a job, or any other file to one or more email addresses as part of the job's workflow. If you have the PDF Document Support feature installed, you can use the EmailDocuments step template to email documents from the job as part of the workflow.
  3. Emailing documents during job processing
    You can email PDF documents by adding a step based on the EmailDocuments step template to a workflow.
  4. Setting up the system to use an alternate email server
    You can set RICOH ProcessDirector to use an alternate email server to send jobs or documents instead of using the default server.
  5. Progress updates
    You can use the SendEmail step template or a notification object to send updates about the progress of jobs as they move through their workflows.
