To review the archived PDF, Document, or XML file sent to the Lasernet server, follow these steps:

1. Click the **Preview** button.
2. Select **XML**, **Document**, or **PDF**.

To resend a report, click the **Resend** button. Remember that the report is not regenerated. An XML file with destination parameters and a path to the archived PDF or Document file will be created and sent to the Lasernet server. When the resend process is complete, a journal is created to store information with the resent parameters, and a checkbox in the **Resend** column is selected for such a record.

#### Cloud Print Connector Communication

Cloud Print Connector includes an option to get the Print job status back when printing a document. This ensures that all documents are successfully printed when running a document print test remotely.

Azure Storage Queue is used to communicate between the Cloud Print Connector and the Lasernet FO Connector. A batch task retrieves messages from the Azure Storage Queue.

Information about a Print job is located in the Lasernet archive, and the Print job status can be easily retrieved. The Print job status is applicable when dealing with functionalities such as **Original printing**, resending with **Force rerun**, and resending a PDF file from the Lasernet Archive (resending without **Force rerun**).

#### Resend a Report to a Predefined Destination

Note

Re-sending a report to a predefined destination is only possible if you have enabled the option within the **Parameters** section of the report.

If you do not have sufficient information on how a customer or vendor prefers to receive the document and in what format, Lasernet reviews the distribution rules to determine if a match is found. If no match is found, Lasernet uses the default destination as a fallback destination.

To resend a report to a predefined destination, follow these steps:

1. On the **Reports** page, click **Journal** on the top Menu bar to navigate to the **Lasernet Log** page.
2. On the **Lasernet Log** page, select the report you want to resend.
3. On the top menu of the page, click **Resend**.
4. On the **Print destination settings** pane that opens, click **Lasernet Predefined**.
5. Click on the **Fallback destination** drop-down combo box and select a fallback option, such as **Print** if Lasernet cannot find any matching predefined destination.
6. Click **OK**.
