Managing the Queue
Starting to Print a File that is Waiting for a Time-
out
If all is in order (paper loaded, all ink components installed,
and no file errors), there are still reasons why a file you have
sent from your computer may not start printing when expected:
The print file may lack a proper file terminator and the
printer is therefore waiting for the specified I/O time-out
period before assuming it is complete. See the ‘Using Your
Printer CD’ for more details.
Nesting may be on and the printer is waiting for the
specified nest wait time-out period before calculating the
appropriate nests. In this case, the printer display shows the
remaining time for the nesting time-out. See
How Long
does the Printer Wait for Another File?, on page 148
.
You may have “wait for preview” selected in you
HP Designjet Driver. This is a function you can use to check
if the pre-view image is the one you want. You can check
the pre-view in the WebAccess tool, then select “Start
print”.
Identifying a Job in the Queue
In Queueing & Nesting, you can scroll through the pages in the
queue.
Each has an identifier, comprising:
<position in queue>: <image name>
Position in Queue
The job currently being printed is in position 0. The next job to
be printed is in position 1, the one after in position 2, etc.
The previous job printed is in position -1, the one before that in
position -2, etc.
You can also check the queue in
HP Designjet WebAccess
where you will find more detailed information.
up to
32 jobs
current job
jobs yet to be printed
jobs already printed
