Introduction
This document provides instructions for enabling the re-launch function and setting up a system to allow operators to launch a new job by looking up an original job through Quick Lookup or the Quick Lookup View of Archived Jobs. Note: Re-launch must be configured before jobs will begin storing for later Re-launch and jobs previous to the date that Re-launch is set up will not be available for Re-launch. Tray Track must also be enabled.
