Starting, stopping, and uninstalling

You can start and stop RICOH ProcessDirectorservers. You can also uninstall RICOH ProcessDirector.

In this section:

  1. Starting the base product and secondary servers
    RICOH ProcessDirector base product and secondary servers start automatically when the systems on which they are installed start. However, you might need to start the base product or a secondary server without restarting the entire operating system.
  2. Starting an application server
    To run processing steps on an application server, the application server must be running. If the application server is not configured as a service, you must start the application server manually.
  3. Stopping the base product and secondary servers
    When you stop the RICOH ProcessDirector base product or a remote secondary server, you can stop the system with or without waiting for job-processing steps to complete. If you have the AFP Support feature installed, you can also choose whether to stop processes that were started by the RICOH ProcessDirector printer driver component, by Download for z/OS, or by AFP Download Plus.
  4. Stopping an application server
    You can stop an application server through the Windows Start menu. Stopping the server prevents RICOH ProcessDirector from accessing any external programs on the Windows system.
  5. Uninstalling RICOH ProcessDirector
