No-service periods
Each service policy specifies whether all the no-service periods apply to the service policy. If they apply, RICOH ProcessDirector adjusts the planned checkpoints of jobs so that they do not occur during the no-service periods.
For example, a service policy for express
print jobs might specify not to adjust planned checkpoints for the no-service periods
because the installation provides services every day for express
print jobs. However, the service policy for regular
jobs might specify to adjust planned checkpoints for the no-service periods.
All the no-service periods work together as one unit. A service policy can specify whether all the no-service periods apply to the policy. However, a service policy cannot specify which no-service periods apply.
Examples of no-service periods are:
- Every January 1
- August 1, 2008
- Every Friday from 18:00 to 23:59
- Every Sunday, all day
If you delete a no-service period, checkpoint times for jobs that are already in the system do not change, even if they were set using that no-service period. To reset the checkpoint times, you must reprocess the job from the beginning.
