Known Causes

This error can occur if you have assigned an invalid value to the Servlet Address for the MarkView Export Queue Assignment.

Resolution

The System Administrator's Guide document ( ) indicates the Servlet Address must be of the form: http://server:port/mvasvue/ultralite/MailPDF

If you do not have the configuration exactly as documented, the error will occur. (For example, if you omit 'MailPDF' from the end of the value).

Note: The printer name may be case sensitive.
