Configuration of the JMF content

You use these attributes to control the device and job status. This means that by clicking the opera­tion (PDC message), the device and the job are set to this status.

Note on the list boxes

The "Device status" list box is a mandatory field. You have to select an entry in this box. All other list boxes can be freely selected. If these list boxes are not to contain an entry, you have to select "DoNot­Care" here.

•The list boxes "Device status details" and "Job status details" can be edited. This means that you can expand the list box individually by clicking in the input box and entering a new item. The new item is added to the list box only after you confirmed the new or edited operation by click­ing "Apply".

Device status

This list box describes the status to which the device will be set after clicking the operation (PDC message). This new device status then displays at the Prinect Cockpit. With the entries given above, for example, the current device status "Setup" is set to the device status "Repair".

The list box is mandatory. This means that you have to select a suitable item from the list box.
