Current job state

In the Jobs table, sometimes the Current job state value is replaced by the Reason for wait status value, to provide additional information. You cannot use Reason for wait status values for the Current job state when you create notifications, you must use the underlying Current job state value.

Values:

Assigned

RICOH ProcessDirector has assigned the job to a specific printer. The Assigned printer property for the job contains the name of the printer.

Complete

The step has completed its processing of the job. Depending on where the job is in its workflow, RICOH ProcessDirector can immediately queue the job to another step.

Creating

The job is being created.

Deleting

The job is being deleted.

Duplicates detected

One or more barcodes have been scanned multiple times in a ReadBarcodeData step. The duplicates must be resolved during a Reconcile step later in the workflow.

Error

An error occurred as the step processed the job. Someone must do an action on the job before processing can resume.

Error on printer

An error occurred during printing.

Manual, waiting

The workflow for the job includes a manual step during which someone does an action that is external to RICOH ProcessDirector. For example, there is a point in job processing at which the print quality must be checked. The job is waiting for a person to right-click the job in the jobs table, and select Manual start.
