Job properties and AFP form definitions

RICOH ProcessDirector job properties can specify some of the same options as the form definition used for the job. If a job property and form definition conflict, these rules determine which value to use.

Values set for these job properties override the values in any form definition used for the job, inline or external:

  • Duplex
  • Media
  • Output bin

If the job contains an inline form definition or medium map, RICOH ProcessDirector ignores the values set for these job properties. If the job uses an external form definition, RICOH ProcessDirector uses the values set for these job properties and generates a new form definition that replaces the external form definition. If the original external form definition contains options that RICOH ProcessDirector does not set, RICOH ProcessDirector uses its default values for those options.
