Understanding dynamic prompting support

When a profile is selected, solutions usually either prompt you for information or start a job. Many solutions involve submitting jobs with related information (such as account numbers, passwords, or processing options) that is obtained through prompting. Where possible, prompting should occur before submitting the job. This gives you the opportunity to cancel jobs when prompted for information they don't have at the moment.

The Job Submission Web Service provides prompting capability to Lexmark Document Server Printer Port clients. From the port monitor, the following prompts are supported:

When the prompt wizard appears on the client screen, you can respond to the prompt within 30 seconds before it times out. Prompting depends on whether or not there are any more required information or documents to process. If there are more, then the end user is asked whether to continue or not. When the user reaches the last prompt, a summary dialog of the answers appears. The user can then choose to send or cancel the job.

You can cancel the job at any time, although cancelling the job cannot undo the job application processing that has already taken place.

Note: LDD 4.6.3.x printer ports on a clustered print server is not supported.
