Configuring to submit jobs from the Main page

You can submit jobs to RICOH ProcessDirector using the Submit Jobs portlet on the Main page.
Jobs can be submitted to a hot folder input device that is enabled and connected or to a workflow that is enabled. The input device or workflow must also be configured to accept jobs submitted using the portlet. With the Order Management feature, you can group jobs into orders and submit them to a workflow.
    Note:
  • Orders cannot be submitted to input devices from the Submit Jobs portlet.

Before you begin this procedure, decide the best job submission option in the Submit Job portal for your installation. Do only the configuration steps that you need.
