How Does Print Routing Work?How Does Print Routing Work?

OM Plus provides dynamic delivery actions to be invoked based on triggers found in the document prior to the spooling process.

Based on trigger matches, user defined delivery options are executed such as:

Dynamically adding text to the document Invoking a form Changing destinations or number of copies Scheduling the job Notifying a user Re-routing the job etc.


Print Routing and Print DevicesPrint Routing and Print Devices

This means OM Plus can be set up to route documents based on the characteristics of the print job or of the status of the print device.

Common characteristics include: Printer Health Large Jobs Color Failover And more!


Routing for Printer HealthRouting for Printer Health

Prior to delivering the print job to the printer OM Plus can perform a device “health check.”

If the device/printer is not ready to print, the job can be re-directed to a backup device notifying the user and help desk with device error information.


Routing for Large JobsRouting for Large Jobs

Some jobs are too large to be printed on standard laser printers.

Based on a user defined parameter OM Plus can determine if jobs exceed the specified jobs size, then re-route them to a higher speed device and notify the user.


Routing for ColorRouting for Color

Users can set parameters within OM Plus to find print jobs that need not be printed in color.

These jobs can be re-routed to mono devices.


Routing for FailoverRouting for Failover

OM Plus carries out bi-directional communications with printers to determine on a page by page basis the status of print job and automatically failover.

Should a job fail, OM Plus knows which page it failed on and can: re-route the remaining pages (or the whole job) to a backup device notify the user send an alert to the help desk with printer SNMP status
