Inhibiting recovery of a print job

Inhibiting recovery of a print job

The normal PSF error recovery actions include resetting the printer to the point in the data path at which an exception is reported, and resending the data from this point. Any pages that are reprinted are in the portion of the printer's paper path where they might be damaged or imperfect, and they must be discarded.

The Inhibit recovery parameter in the Printer Inventory or the PSF Exit 7 routine can request that PSF inhibit recovery for a job. This means that PSF is not to resend any portion of the job that is already printed. If an error does occur that requires recovery for pages that are printed, such as for a paper jam, processing of the job is stopped. This can be used to prevent the reprinting of sensitive data, such as checks. If you need this function, consult your system programmer.
