Send documents to a ControlSuite destination

Complete this procedure to define a ControlSuite destination for printing.

  1. In the Destinations tree, right-click the destination group (folder) where you want to add destinations, and click New Destination.
  2. Select ControlSuite from the Type drop-down list box on the Add Destination dialog box.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Configure general settings:
    1. Enter the destination Name.
    2. In the Server list, select the server where the ControlSuite server is located for this destination.
    3. Enter any Comments or Location information.
    4. Optional: To change the large destination image that appears when configuring a single destination, click Select Image and select the image file (BMP, JPEG, or PNG). To change the image back to the default, click Reset Image.
      The selected image is compressed and scaled to 96x96 pixels. Changing this image does not change the smaller image that displays or the image that displays in the destination tree.
  5. Configure options on the ControlSuite settings tab:
    • Click Print job submission to use this destination as the print job submission. Select the URL for the Equitrac, AutoStore or Business Connect server that will receive the document, and the appropriate queue.
    • Click Workflow job submission to use this destination as the workflow job submission. Select the URL for the Equitrac, AutoStore or Business Connect server that will receive the document, and the appropriate queue.
  6. Configure options on the More settings tab:
    1. Select Use advanced costing profile for reports to define the costs associated with advanced document media and finishing options, such as stapling and folding, for reporting purposes.
    2. Select the printing cost per page for black and white and color documents.
    3. Select Include documents in Green Reports to make documents sent to the destination available for green reports. The documents appear in green reports once Output Manager deletes them from the Retained tab.
    4. Select the appropriate Printer family.
      Printer families are used to configure commands for print languages and map them to destinations based on their capabilities. You can select an existing printer family in the list or create one in the Printer Family Profile dialog box. To create a printer family during single destination configuration, click New. To create during multiple destination configuration, click Browse.
    5. Optional: If you select a Printer family, you can configure Destination specific capabilities.
      These options determine which print preferences/document properties are supported by the destination. To configure destination specific capabilities, click Configure to open the Destination Capabilities dialog box. All of the document properties available to this destination are listed and grouped into categories. Expand the appropriate category by clicking the arrow next to the category name. Select the check boxes for properties you want to be available for configuration throughout Output Manager. Clear the check boxes for properties you do not want to be available. If a property is configured by selecting from a list of options, those options will display beneath the property. Select and clear the check boxes to determine the choices that will be available when those properties are configured. Repeat this step until all properties are configured, and then click OK.
    6. Select the appropriate Output process. You can select an existing process in the list or create one using the Process Designer.
      • To create a process during single destination configuration, click New.
      • To create during multiple destination configuration, click Browse.
      Output processes can be created to impact documents as they are being sent to a destination. The processes contain a set of actions which could be used for search and replace, setting finishing options, editing PJL commands, inserting overlays, and so on.
    7. Determine if you want to override the output process assigned to the document and use the selected destination output process.
    8. Select the appropriate Failover profile. You can select an existing profile in the list or create one in the Failover Profile dialog box.
      • To create a profile during single destination configuration, click New.
      • To create during multiple destination configuration, click Browse.
      Failover profiles specify what should happen to documents when they are sent to inaccessible destinations (they are not able to receive documents).
    9. Determine if you want to override the failover profile assigned to the document and use the selected destination failover profile.
  7. On the Error handling tab, configure the error handling options.
    1. Select the appropriate Error handling profile. You can select an existing profile in the list, or create one in the Error Handling Profile dialog box. To create a profile during single destination configuration, click New. To create during multiple destination configuration, click the Browse button.
      Error handling profiles specify what should happen to destinations when an error is detected via SNMP or during transmission of a document.
    2. Choose the Default failover destination.
      This specifies what should happen to documents when they are sent to inaccessible destinations (they are not able to receive documents). You can choose to route the documents to a parent group or a specific destination or group. The parent group where the destination currently resides is selected by default.
  8. Click OK.
