Using the Select'N'Send GUI

The GUI version of Select 'N' Send is useful for providing users access to a selection of Lexmark Distributed Intelligent Capture profiles and allowing users to submit a variety of documents and document types to the Lexmark Distributed Intelligent Capture system. Selected files are submitted to the system in their current formats. Each solution script determines which file types are acceptable. For more information, contact the developer of your solution.

1. Launch the Select'N'Send GUI:

   Do one of the following:

   • From a Windows Explorer window, right-click the file you want to submit to Lexmark Distributed Intelligent Capture, and then click Send To > Lexmark Document Distributor Enterprise.

     

   • From the command line, type sendservent filename, where filename is the file you want to submit to Lexmark Distributed Intelligent Capture, and then press Enter.

     Note: The Select'N'Send program folder is added to the system path during installation so that Select'N'Send may be accessed from any folder at the command line.

     

   • Drag the file you want to submit to Lexmark Distributed Intelligent Capture onto the file sendservent.exe or to a shortcut pointing to that file.

   3. Type the fully qualified domain name or IP address of the server, and then click OK.

   4. Click OK to exit the Server Setup dialog.

   5. If necessary, select the new server from the list.

3. Select a profile from the Server Profiles list, and then click OK.

Using Select'N'Send from the command line

The command line version of Select'N'Send is useful for automated processes and accessing Lexmark Distributed Intelligent Capture profiles from other software, such as Windows Small Business Server, or for creating batch files that help users submit specific files using specific profiles.

Use this command to run the command line version of Select'N'Send:

sendservent -s server -p profile -f filename [-u userdatafile -t timeout -i interval]

Options

server—This is the IP address or fully qualified domain name of the load balancer Lexmark Distributed Intelligent Capture system.

profile—This is the profile to run on the Lexmark Distributed Intelligent Capture server.

filename—This is the path and file name of the file to be submitted to the Lexmark Distributed Intelligent Capture system.

Note: The specified file is submitted to the system in its current format. Each solution script determines which file types are acceptable. For more information, contact the developer of your solution.

userdatafile—This is the path and file name of a file containing user information for the job. This is optional.

Note: Though a user data file is optional, a script that expects user data fails if no user data file is specified or if expected data is missing from a specified file.

timeout—This is the time in seconds to wait for confirmation from the Lexmark Distributed Intelligent Capture system before aborting the operation with an error. This is optional. The default is 0, which specifies no timeout.

interval—This is the time in seconds to wait between each instance of polling the Lexmark Distributed Intelligent Capture system for confirmation. This is optional. The default is 0.5.
