VerifyPrintedSheetCount

A step that is based on this step template checks to see if the correct number of sheets have been stacked after an AFP job has successfully finished printing. You must explicitly add this step to the workflow. None of the workflows that RICOH ProcessDirector supplies include this step.

Job property defaults

None

Usage notes

  • This step can be used for jobs sent to AFP printers only.
  • When this step starts processing the job, RICOH ProcessDirector determines whether header, separator, and trailer pages are enabled for the printer that printed the job last. It then adds the numbers of copies of these types of banner pages together and does these calculations:
    • Adds the total number of banner pages to the value of the Job size (sheets) job property. Because each banner page prints on its own sheet, each banner page is equal to one sheet.
    • Compares the updated value of the Job size (sheets) property to the value of the Sheets stacked job property.
    • If the values do not match, RICOH ProcessDirector moves the job to an error state when the VerifyPrintedSheetCount step completes. RICOH ProcessDirector also moves the job to an error state if you do a Jump to or a Continue action from a saved position for the job.
  • When adding this step to a workflow, make sure that it follows the PrintJobs step. It is recommended that you set the Allow error override option to Yes for this step so you can continue printing even if the page counts do not match.
