  Save Changes: After selecting the appropriate output type, save your changes and try processing the document again.
  
  
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and modify output types.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Output Types: These are defined in the system and can include various formats such as print, fax, email, etc. Each output type has specific settings that determine how the output is generated.
