Testing and deploying workflow solutions 53 6 If you included the profile on the home screen, then click the icon for the profile. If the profile does not appear on the home screen, then do the following: a Click Held Jobs > Profiles. b Click the icon for the profile. The profile launches the associated script on an LDD server. Note: Some prompts are not supported in interactive mode. When a script includes an unsupported prompt, a message appears on the emulated printer control panel. Click Next to continue the script after the prompt. Simulating a scan task 1 Type or browse to the path of a TIFF, JPEG, PDF, or PostScript file to simulate the document to be scanned. 2 Click OK. To assign a default image file to appear in each Scan File dialog, click File > Properties. Saving print jobs Print jobs initiated by a profile are discarded by default. To enable saving print jobs: 1 Make sure you have run the interactive emulator at least once. The configuration that contains the settings for the interactive emulator is created automatically the first time it is run. 2 Locate the \Profiles\interactive\conf\ folder where the MFP emulator is installed. The default is C:\Program Files \mfpsimulator\. 3 Open sim‑interactive.properties in a text editor. 4 If necessary, modify the location where print jobs are saved beside interactive.advanced.pj.output=. 5 Change the value beside interactive.advanced.pj.save= to true. 6 If the interactive emulator is open, then close, and then restart it. Using the performance simulator Preparing and running tests in the performance simulator 1 From the MFP Simulator configuration window, click File > New Configuration. 2 Type the IP address or host name of the LDD system in the Load Balancer IP field. 3 Type the profile name to execute. Note: The profile name refers to a device profile created using the Device Policy Editor in the solution. A list of profiles can also be found in the Profiles task after the solution has been deployed to the relevant device group in LMC. 4 Select whether to simulate an e‑Task 2 or e‑Task device. 5 Discover the performance simulator and deploy the appropriate solution in LMC: Note: This step is only necessary if the interactive MFP emulator or performance simulator has not been discovered, or if the necessary solution has not been deployed.

If you included the profile on the home screen, then click the icon for the profile. If the profile does not appear on
the home screen, then do the following:
a
Click
Held Jobs
>
Profiles
.
b
Click the icon for the profile.
The profile launches the associated script on an LDD server.
Note:
Some prompts are not supported in interactive mode. When a script includes an unsupported prompt, a
message appears on the emulated printer control panel. Click
Next
to continue the script after the prompt.
Simulating a scan task
1
Type or browse to the path of a TIFF, JPEG, PDF, or PostScript file to simulate the document to be scanned.
2
Click
OK
.
To assign a default image file to appear in each Scan File dialog, click
File
>
Properties
.
Saving print jobs
Print jobs initiated by a profile are discarded by default. To enable saving print jobs:
1
Make sure you have run the interactive emulator at least once. The configuration that contains the settings for the
interactive emulator is created automatically the first time it is run.
2
Locate the \Profiles\interactive\conf\ folder where the MFP emulator is installed. The default is C:\Program Files
\mfpsimulator\.
3
Open
sim
‑
interactive.properties
in a text editor.
4
If necessary, modify the location where print jobs are saved beside
interactive.advanced.pj.output=
.
5
Change the value beside
interactive.advanced.pj.save=
to
true
.
6
If the interactive emulator is open, then close, and then restart it.
Using the performance simulator
Preparing and running tests in the performance simulator
1
From the MFP Simulator configuration window, click
File
>
New Configuration
.
2
Type the IP address or host name of the LDD system in the Load Balancer IP field.
3
Type the profile name to execute.
Note:
The profile name refers to a device profile created using the Device Policy Editor in the solution. A list of
profiles can also be found in the Profiles task after the solution has been deployed to the relevant device group
in LMC.
4
Select whether to simulate an e
‑
Task 2 or e
‑
Task device.
5
Discover the performance simulator and deploy the appropriate solution in LMC:
Note:
This step is only necessary if the interactive MFP emulator or performance simulator has not been
discovered, or if the necessary solution has not been deployed.
