Forwarding Print Jobs Automatically

If you are unable to print because the selected printer is busy, offline, out of paper, or due to other reasons, you can automatically forward a print job to another printer.

Note

  • Print jobs can only be forwarded to another printer of the same OKI model as the one you are using.

  • Before forwarding a job, you must add a printer.

  • You must have the administrator rights.

  1. Start OKI LPR Utility.

  2. Select the printer to set.

  3. Select [Confirm Connections] from the [Remote Print] menu.

  4. Click [Details].

  5. Select the [Automatic Job Redirect Used] check box.

  6. To forward a job only if an error, such as "Offline" or "Running out of paper", occurs, select the [Redirect only at the time of an error] check box.

  7. Click [Add].

  8. Enter the IP address of a forwarding destination printer, and then click [OK].

  9. Repeat steps 7 to 8 until you specify all the forward destination candidates.
