Only job ticket is transferred to CML server
Job ticket contains username, print job title, size, detailed page count
and sends it back CML server adds authentication information
ORS sends the job to printer When user authenticates at a terminal
What if the network is down?
job is sent to ORS When user prints
from its cache and prints the job ORS loads authentication data
Data about the printed job are stored in the cache
What if the CML server is down?
CML server supports application cluster When CML server is down, other servers in cluster take over all functions
in an enterprise with multiple locations? How does Print Roaming work
Near locations Job ticket is synchronized immediately with nearby servers and the user can pick prints up right away. Once the user authenticates at a terminal to print the job, the job is transferred from the original destination to the current one.
Far locations Job ticket is downloaded when the user logs on at a terminal.
Central reporting Information from job ticket is stored to central database. Central database provides information for reporting.
