Chapter 2. Planning for configuration Destination configuration models show the relationships among logical destinations, job- and document-attribute defaults, queues, and actual destinations. Your standard InfoPrint destination configuration, the one created during installation, has a one-to-one relationship between a logical destination and an actual destination, and provides minimal job- and document-attribute default setting. As you customize your InfoPrint environment to support your printing needs, you might want to consider a more complex destination configuration model. For any of the configuration models, while the logical destination and the queue that it sends jobs to must reside in the same InfoPrint server, the actual destination can be running in a different InfoPrint server running on a different AIX or Windows system. However, to submit jobs directly to the actual destination, the actual destination must reside in the same server as the logical destination and queue. Default model The default model has a one-to-many relationship between a logical destination and two or more actual destinations. It also lets you submit jobs directly to properly configured actual destinations. (In this way, the default model is similar to the "Desktop destination configuration model" on page 16, but it requires you to create and manage fewer objects.) To support direct submission to actual destinations, the default model requires the actual destination to be associated with a logical destination. A job submitted to an actual destination is rerouted to the associated logical destination. At the logical destination, the job derives its job and document defaults. The job is then routed through the associated queue and back to the actual destination. InfoPrint Manager uses this destination configuration model by default. (A single queue and a single logical destination are created automatically when you install InfoPrint Manager. ) You must configure the actual destinations to enable direct submission. © Copyright InfoPrint Solutions Company 2000, 2009 15

Chapter 2. Planning for configuration
Destination configuration models show the relationships among logical
destinations, job- and document-attribute defaults, queues, and actual destinations.
Your standard InfoPrint destination configuration, the one created during
installation, has a one-to-one relationship between a logical destination and an
actual destination, and provides minimal job- and document-attribute default
setting. As you customize your InfoPrint environment to support your printing
needs, you might want to consider a more complex destination configuration
model.
For any of the configuration models, while the logical destination and the queue
that it sends jobs to must reside in the same InfoPrint server, the actual destination
can be running in a different InfoPrint server running on a different AIX or
Windows system. However, to submit jobs directly to the actual destination, the
actual destination must reside in the same server as the logical destination and
queue.
Default model
The default model has a one-to-many relationship between a logical destination
and two or more actual destinations. It also lets you submit jobs directly to
properly configured actual destinations. (In this way, the default model is similar
to the “Desktop destination configuration model” on page 16, but it requires you
to create and manage fewer objects.) To support direct submission to actual
destinations, the default model requires the actual destination to be associated with
a logical destination. A job submitted to an actual destination is rerouted to the
associated logical destination. At the logical destination, the job derives its job and
document defaults. The job is then routed through the associated queue and back
to the actual destination.
InfoPrint Manager uses this destination configuration model by default. (A single
queue and a single logical destination are created automatically when you install
InfoPrint Manager. ) You must configure the actual destinations to enable direct
submission.
