| Device management maintenance procedure |  |
| Procedure aim After you complete the Device management setup procedure, you can print ERP LN ’s processed data. ERP LN ’s device management also gives you the tools to maintain the device management data. You can, for example: Maintain the device queue. Cancel print requests from users and devices. Change the device status. Purge the device queue. Change paper types. This section describes only the most important steps in the device management procedures. For detailed instructions on how to enter data in the sessions described in the procedure steps, refer to the online session Help. To maintain the device queue If the status of the print job is Waiting, and the device is physical printer, you can maintain the print job data. You can, for example, change the date and time of the actual print, the print job’s status, the number of copies, and so on. After the print job is complete, the print request status changes to Done. After the delete delay time expires, the printer daemon automatically removes the temporary file in the ${BSE_TMP} directory. Although the status of the request changes to Removed, the request is not deleted from the printer queue table. However, a print request with the status Removed cannot be displayed or reprinted. If the status of a request is set to Preserved, the output file is not removed if the delete delay time has passed. Session: Device Queue (ttaad3520m000) To cancel print jobs You can only cancel a print job if the status of the print job is Waiting, Active, or Being Converted. You can cancel the print jobs by user or by device. As a result , the print request receives the Canceled status. Sessions: Cancel Device Requests by User (ttaad3220m000) and Cancel Device Requests by Device (ttaad3230m000) To change the device status You can change the status of a device. For example, when a printer changes location, you can change the status of the printer to Down. Even though the printer is down, users can still send print jobs to this printer. The print jobs are queued and will be printed as soon as the status returns to Up. Note You can only change the device status when the Printer Daemon is running. Session: Change Device Status (ttaad3240m000) To purge the device queue data In the previously described sections, you were able to change the status of a print request without having to remove the request from the printer queue. As a result, the contents of the printer queue table will increase rather than decrease. As a result, you must purge the printer queue regularly. However, requests with the Waiting, Active, or Being Converted status cannot be deleted. Instead, the requests must first be canceled and then removed. Session: Purge Device Queue (ttaad3221m000) To change a printer’s paper type If you change the paper in a printer, check to see if you need to change the printer’s paper type.
