Usage notes:

  • The source for the default input data exit program resides in the /usr/lpp/psf/exits directory. The executable resides in the /usr/lpp/psf/bin directory. RICOH ProcessDirector automatically looks for the exit program in the /usr/lpp/psf/bin directory. You do not need to include the path in the value if the exit program that you specify resides in this directory.
  • The Enable input data exit property for the printer must be Yes for RICOH ProcessDirector to call the exit program that this property specifies.
  • For detailed information about how to develop customized exit programs, refer to the Ricoh Production Print Information Center.

    Publications such as InfoPrint Manager for AIX: Procedures describe how to develop and compile exit programs.

  • You cannot change the value of this property if there is a job assigned to the printer.
  • RICOH ProcessDirector automatically shuts down and restarts the printer when you change the input data exit program.
