AFP resource path

Specifies one or more directories that RICOH ProcessDirector searches for the AFP resources that the job requires. For example, it looks in these directories for the form definition for the job.

Format:

Length
Up to 4096 characters (bytes)
Restrictions
Separate multiple directory names with colons (:) on Linux or with semicolons (;) on Windows.
On Windows, do not add a backslash (\) to the end of any directory names.
Default
Not set
Database name
AFPPrinter.ResourcePath

Usage notes:

  • RICOH ProcessDirector looks for resources in this order:
    1. Inline in the data stream
    2. In the directories that the AFP resource path job property specifies
    3. If the print step requests a resource, in the directories that the AFP resource path printer property specifies
    4. In the /aiw/aiw1/resources or C:\aiw\aiw1\resources directory
    5. On Linux, in the /usr/lpp/psf/reslib directory
    6. On Windows, in the \reslib directory in the PSF install path

      The default PSF install path is: C:\Program Files (x86)\InfoPrint\PSF

  • 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 resource path.
  • The RICOH ProcessDirector group ( aiwgrp1 is the default) and the RICOH ProcessDirector system user ( aiw1 is the default) must have read permission for all directories in the resource path.
