Completing insertion for a job

If the inserter controller is configured to use the manual completion method, you must tell RICOH ProcessDirector when the inserter has finished inserting all the documents in the job into envelopes. Then RICOH ProcessDirector can automatically reconcile the job or you can manually reconcile it.
    Note:
  • If the inserter controller is configured to use the automatic completion method, you do not need to manually complete insertion because RICOH ProcessDirector can automatically detect that the job has completed insertion. However, if a job remains in the step based on the InsertJobs step template for a long time after it has finished insertion, you can manually complete insertion.
To complete insertion for a job:
  1. In the Jobs table on the Main page, right-click the job that has finished insertion and select Complete insertion.

    Make sure that the job is in a step based on the InsertJobs step template and is in the Manual, working state.

      Note:
    • If the job is in the Processing state, the inserter controller is configured to use the automatic completion method. In this case, do not continue unless you are sure that the inserter has finished inserting all the documents in the job.

  2. On the Complete insertion? dialog, click OK.

    The job moves to the next step in the workflow, which is usually based on the Reconcile step template. If the job specifies the manual reconciliation method, the state changes to Waiting to reconcile. If the job specifies the automatic reconciliation method, the state changes to Processing.
