Reminder campaigns - Implementation

Prerequisite

Reminder campaign letters or emails must not be printed without using the print server. During the validation of a campaign, the print requests are stored in a print queue and processed sequentially.

• If the destination used is not set up with a print server, the print queue is managed with a fixed size that cannot be changed (200).
• If the destination used is set up with a print server, the print queue can be changed using the NBMAXJOB parameter value in the print server's administration console.

To use a print server, it is necessary to update the NBMAXJOB parameter with a value greater than the sum of the letters and emails indicated in the To send block.

If possible, you can modify the default value of the NBMAXPROC parameter in the print server's administration console and set up the execution of N print requests in parallel.
