Using the -ooutbin parameter in JCL and LPD jobtype files

The receive_jcl_jobtype.cfg, receive_lpd_jobtype.cfg, and receive_lpd_pdf_jobtype.cfg control files provided with RICOH ProcessDirector map the value of the -ooutbin parameter to the Job.OutputBin property.

To use the -ooutbin parameter in JCL and LPD jobtype files:

  1. Fill in this table with information from your application, printers, and bins. Each row reflects information about one bin.
    Column 1: Values used in -ooutbin parameter (property value) Column 2: Name of the bin in Properties notebook (object name, outputBin name) Column 3: Printer model (printerModel name) Column 4: Printer bin number (binNumber)
    Example: 9 Example: Stacker9 Example: InfoPrint 2085 Example: 9
           
           
           
  2. Copy this text into a blank text file:
    <IPPD_UpdateData version="1.0" xmlns"xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/
XMLSchema-instance">
     <object name="Stacker9" type="OutputBin">
          <property name="OutputBin.BinNumber" value="9"/>
     </object>
     <printerModel name="InfoPrint 2085">
          <outputBin name="Stacker9" binNumber="9"/>
     </printerModel>
</IPPD_UpdateData>
  3. Edit the text file with the values that you entered in the table:
    1. Copy the <object> and <printerModel> tag sets so you have one set for each row in the table.
    2. Use the values from column 1 for the value attribute of the property tag.
    3. Use the values from column 2 for the name attribute of both the object and outputBin tags.
    4. Use the values from column 3 for the name attribute of the printerModel tag.
    5. Use the values from column 4 for the binNumber attribute of the outputBin tag.
  4. Save the file.
  5. Click the Administration tab.
  6. In the left pane, click Utilities ⇒ Import Objects.
  7. Click and navigate to the XML file that you just created. Click Open.
  8. Click Import.
