LineData

Use this workflow for ASCII line-data or mixed-mode input files that are submitted to a Hot folder input device or with the LPD protocol. This workflow sets values for job properties by using values set in each step in the workflow and by using a job properties file.

The input device specifies a control file, receive_lpd_jobtype.cfg, to change LPD control file parameters for a job to a job properties file in RICOH ProcessDirectorproperty name=value format that is read by the first step in this workflow.

When using this workflow with the LPD protocol, remove ${Job.InputFile} from the Job name property in the SetJobPropsFromTextFile step.

    Note:
  • The ConvertLineDataJobIntoAFP step that this workflow contains returns messages in the language that its External program language property specifies.
  • The EnableRepositioning and CreatePageRanges steps that this workflow contains return messages in the language in which the RICOH ProcessDirector base product is installed.
