Introduction

This document provides instructions for enabling the relaunch 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.

Relaunch must be configured before jobs begin storing for later Relaunch. Jobs previous to the Relaunch setup date are not available for Relaunch. Tray Track must also be enabled.

Procedure

Custom Configuration

Enable the following custom configuration.

If the table does not exist:

The Relaunch feature can only be utilized on jobs run through Order Entry starting from the date that the following configuration is enabled. You can not relaunch jobs previous to the setup date. Tray Track also needs to be set up.

If the following custom configuration is enabled, when you relaunch a job, you get asked to enter a tray number, and we go through auto lite-ups when the job is processing.
