Power up and Shutdown

Powering up CAUTION: Do not hold down the power switch. Press and release the power switch.

1.

To power up the MIM 200, locate and press the power switch on the host computer. NOTE: The power switch is a white button at the top right corner of the MIM 200.

2.

Wait as the MIM 200 powers up. IMPORTANT: The MIM 200 takes approximately two minutes to power up. During this time, a series of beeps is emitted. This is

normal. When the MIM 200 has fully powered up, the main display screen appears. To learn about the main display screen, continue with “The main display screen” on page 2-3.

Description

Ready - MIM 200 is ready to accept job requests. or Status/error message generated at the MIM 200. Messages might refer to the data that was received in the print request, or might be internal information generated at the MIM 200. Each message displays for a few seconds. For more information on the status or error message, you can check the message in the error log. For instructions, see Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting”.

2

Active Jobs - Displays the number of jobs that are in the active queue (the jobs that have been received for printing).

3

Open Associations - Displays the number of open associations between the MIM 200 and input devices. For more information, see “Understanding open associations” on page 2-9.

NOTE: If both conditions occur simultaneously (there are jobs in the undelivered queue and status messages that pertain to the imager), both messages display. The messages alternate at the display until you correct the situations as necessary. Each message displays for four seconds. For more information on messages that pertain to the imagers, Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting”.

When you initiate a shutdown from any keypad, you will shut down the MIM 200 for all users.

For Multiple Keypads

To shut down the MIM 200: 1.

At the main display screen, press MENU. NOTE: Because of size limitations of the screen, only four rows are viewable at the same time. Use the arrow buttons to scroll to view all the menu options. The Main Menu displays. until > points to System Shutdown.

To shut down, press until > points to Confirm Shutdown, then press MENU. The screen that displays next is dependent on whether or not print jobs are pending.

5.

To complete the shutdown, follow the correct step based on the screen that displays: IMPORTANT: Do not switch off the MIM 200 until the screen informs you that it is safe to shut down.

n

If there are no active jobs, the shutdown screen displays:

The MIM 200 performs an orderly shutdown.

n

If there is one active job, this screen displays:

The MIM 200 completes the delivery of the active job.

or If you wish to suspend the pending jobs, press MENU. If you suspend the pending jobs, the jobs are placed in the undelivered queue and marked as “protected”. The jobs remain in the undelivered queue until the MIM 200 is powered on again. When the MIM 200 is restarted, the suspended jobs are automatically placed in the active queue. The MIM 200 automatically attempts to deliver the jobs. NOTE: For information on checking the undelivered queue, redelivering jobs, or unprotecting jobs, see Chapter 3, “Queue Management”.

Power up and Shutdown

Understanding open associations Open Associations is an informational item on the System Shutdown screen:

If a quantity other than 0 (zero) displays after Open Associations, communication is open between the MIM 200 and one or multiple device(s). NOTE: Do not confuse “open associations” with “active jobs”. Open associations are open paths of communication, while active jobs are jobs that have been received for printing. When you confirm a shutdown, the MIM 200:

n

Continues accepting print requests from the associations that are currently open, and completes those print requests.

n

Rejects any requests from new associations.

If you want to shut down immediately when you have open associations, you can suspend the pending jobs. This causes pending jobs to be placed in the undelivered queue, marked as “protected”. (Follow the procedure, “Shutting down” on page 2-5, to suspend pending jobs during a shutdown.) NOTE: If new jobs are submitted by the open associations before the MIM 200 shutdown has completed, the new jobs are placed in the active queue for delivery. The MIM 200 delivers the new jobs before completing the shutdown.

Queue Management

Queue overview The MIM 200 provides three accessible queues. See the table for the queue types and descriptions of each: Queue type:

Description:

Active

Displays information about jobs that have been received for printing. Displays the time the job was sent, plus priority and status information.

Delivered

Displays information about jobs that have been delivered to the print destination. After a job is successfully sent to the print destination, the job is placed in the delivered queue.

Undelivered

Displays information about jobs that were not able to print. Jobs may be placed in the undelivered queue due to communication errors, empty media trays, etc.

Unprotected jobs and automatic deletion Jobs in the delivered queue are “unprotected”, which means that jobs are retained in the delivered queue until the hard disk becomes full to a preset limit. When the preset limit is reached, the MIM 200 automatically begins deleting the unprotected jobs, starting with oldest jobs. Automatic deletion also deletes any unprotected jobs in the undelivered queue.
