Output Recovery in Case of an Error (IPDS)
Introduction
The printer is equipped with an efficient, reliable output recovery in case of an error. By factory
default, the output recovery is set to [Normal]. After the error is solved, the job continues at the
page where the error occurred automatically.
However, some printing environments require that multiple copies must be avoided. For
example, in transactions involving the printing of valuable documents such as cheques. In such
an environment, the [Output recovery] setting of your IPDS setup must be set to [Suppressed].
When the output recovery is suppressed, the printer will not automatically make sure that the
output is corrected after a recovery. All pending pages in the printer will be deleted and the stack
will be ejected. The host system and the operator are responsible for the recovery. The operator
must restart the job manually on the correct page.
The tables below describe what happens when either the normal output recovery or the
suppressed output recovery is selected.
