Managing Your Prints Managing Pages not yet Printed (the Queue) Managing Pages not yet Printed (the Queue) What is the Queue? Your printer can store files in a queue at the same time as printing the current file. It stores them by page. If you send only single-page files, you can regard these as files. NOTE The size of the queue is limited by number of jobs (maximum of 32 jobs containing up to 64 pages total) and the total memory available. The queue stores processed output pages, not the input jobs. Remember that file size and memory usage are not the same thing, as explained on page 11-52, File Size and Memory Usage. If you send a very complex PostScript job with queueing turned off, the printer may stop during printing of the image while it is processing the job. This may result in a image quality defect. To avoid this, always print very complex files with queueing turned on. NOTE With queueing turned ON When Queueing is On and the printer receives print files, the files are stored in the queue in the order they are received. If Nesting is Off, the files are printed as soon as possible, in the order they are received. If Nesting is On, files are printed when the time-out period expires or there are enough files to fill a page width. Merge settings have no effect on PostScript files.
