Dispatch Rule Files - Xerox 5 User Manual

Dispatch Rule files

All rule files must have a file extension of .rule and must be placed in the
X:\xvtp\dispatch\rules\ directory for the application to find them and for editing. X is the
disk drive where VIPO was initially installed.
To edit Dispatch Rule files, click the Edit drop-down menu and select the Dispatch Rules
option. Some sample rule files are provided with this installation and can be used as a
template to create your own customized rule files.
The following are defaults and limits imposed on Dispatch Rule settings.

unpredictable behavior.
