Identifying a job in the queue

Page 106 highlights

Chapter 7 Identifying a job in the queue The best way to look at the queue is in the Embedded Web Server (Information > Jobs queue), where you can manage the queue and get full information on every job (by clicking the name of the file). However, you can also manage the queue from the front panel. To do so, select the icon and then Queue management, where you can see a list of the jobs in the queue. Each has an identifier, comprising: : The job currently being printed is in position 0. The next job to be printed is in position 1, the previous job already printed is in position -1. Prioritizing a job in the queue To make any job in the queue the next one to be printed, select it and choose Reprint (in the Embedded Web Server) or Move to front (in the front panel). If nesting is turned on, the prioritized job may still be nested with others. If you really want this job to be printed next, and on its own on the roll, first turn nesting off and then move it to the front of the queue as described above. Deleting a job from the queue Under normal circumstances, there is no need to delete a job from the queue after printing it, as it will just fall off the end of the queue as more files are sent. However, if you have sent a file in error, and want to avoid any chance of it being reprinted, you can simply delete it, by selecting it and choosing Delete (in the Embedded Web Server or in the front panel). In the same way, you can delete a job that has not been printed yet. If the job is currently being printed (Status = printing in the Web server, or its queue position is 0 in the front panel), and you want both to cancel the job and to delete it, first click the Cancel icon in the Web server, or press the Cancel key on the front panel, and then delete it from the queue. Making copies of a job in the queue To make extra copies of any job in the queue, select the job in the Embedded Web Server and click the Reprint icon, then specify the number of copies you want. The job will be moved to the top of the queue. You can also do this from the front panel: select the job and choose Copies, then specify the number of copies required and press the Select key. This overrides any value set by your software. Note If Rotate was On when you sent the file, every copy will be rotated. If the job has already been printed, use Move to front to move it to the top of the queue. 104 How do I manage print jobs?

Identifying a job in the queue
The best way to look at the queue is in the Embedded Web Server (
Information
>
Jobs queue
), where you can manage the queue and get full information on every job
(by clicking the name of the file).
However, you can also manage the queue from the front panel. To do so, select the
icon and then
Queue management
, where you can see a list of the jobs in the
queue.
Each has an identifier, comprising:
<position in queue>: <image name>
The job currently being printed is in position 0. The next job to be printed is in position
1, the previous job already printed is in position -1.
Prioritizing a job in the queue
To make any job in the queue the next one to be printed, select it and choose
Reprint
(in the Embedded Web Server) or
Move to front
(in the front panel).
If nesting is turned on, the prioritized job may still be nested with others. If you really
want this job to be printed next, and on its own on the roll, first turn nesting off and
then move it to the front of the queue as described above.
Deleting a job from the queue
Under normal circumstances, there is no need to delete a job from the queue after
printing it, as it will just fall off the end of the queue as more files are sent. However, if
you have sent a file in error, and want to avoid any chance of it being reprinted, you
can simply delete it, by selecting it and choosing
Delete
(in the Embedded Web
Server or in the front panel).
In the same way, you can delete a job that has not been printed yet.
If the job is currently being printed (Status =
printing
in the Web server, or its queue
position is 0 in the front panel), and you want both to cancel the job and to delete it,
first click the Cancel icon in the Web server, or press the
Cancel
key on the front
panel, and then delete it from the queue.
Making copies of a job in the queue
To make extra copies of any job in the queue, select the job in the Embedded Web
Server and click the
Reprint
icon, then specify the number of copies you want. The
job will be moved to the top of the queue.
You can also do this from the front panel: select the job and choose
Copies
, then
specify the number of copies required and press the
Select
key. This overrides any
value set by your software.
Note
If
Rotate
was
On
when you sent the file, every copy will be rotated.
If the job has already been printed, use
Move to front
to move it to the top of the
queue.
