Device redirection

In Tillypad XL you can transfer jobs from one device to another that supports the same interfaces or at least one required interface. For example, if the service printer runs out of paper, all its jobs can be redirected to another printer or any device that supports printer interface.

Instead of redirecting, you may also cancel a job.

Redirection is configured in the Device redirection directory.

A timeout can be set for redirection. If the main device is unavailable, the system will be attempting to send jobs to it during a timeout period. If the main device fails to carry out the job, the system will redirect the job to another available device.
