Configuration and Setup 39 Configuring the C9 Server for your network and print environment Print queue The Print queue is the standard C9 Server queue. Jobs sent to the Print queue are processed and printed in the order in which they are received. Hold queue Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the C9 Server hard disk drive for printing at a later time, or for reprinting. Because the Hold queue is a storage area, jobs sent to it cannot proceed through the printing process until the operator intervenes using the job management tools. Direct connection The Direct connection transmits jobs directly to the C9 Server, but only when the C9 Server is idle. If the C9 Server is busy, the job remains at the user's computer until the C9 Server is ready. The job is then processed as soon as the previous job is finished and before the next queued job is processed. The Direct connection is intended for downloading fonts and for use with test applications that require back channel information from the C9 Server. Generally, we do not recommend using Direct connection to print jobs. Note: To download fonts to the C9 Server, you must first publish the Direct connection. Important: In most cases, jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the C9 Server and cannot be selected for reprinting, moving, or deletion. Therefore, the Direct connection provides a measure of security for sensitive files. However, jobs sent to the Direct connection do appear in the Job Log for accounting purposes. For full security, we recommend using Secure Erase. Some jobs sent to the Direct connection cause temporary files to be stored on the C9 Server. This may occur with the following types of jobs: • PDF jobs are redirected to the Print queue. However, PDF jobs sent to the Direct connection by LPR can be printed directly. • TIFF jobs • VDP jobs (including Free Form Jobs) • Jobs with the following settings: • Reverse order printing (for large jobs) • Booklet Maker • Mixed Media • Combine Separations • Paper Catalog • Gang-up printing • N-up printing • Pages per sheet

Print queue
The Print queue is the standard C9 Server queue. Jobs sent to the Print queue are processed and printed in the order
in which they are received.
Hold queue
Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the C9 Server hard disk drive for printing at a later time, or for reprinting.
Because the Hold queue is a storage area, jobs sent to it cannot proceed through the printing process until the
operator intervenes using the job management tools.
Direct connection
The Direct connection transmits jobs directly to the C9 Server, but only when the C9 Server is idle.
If the C9 Server is busy, the job remains at the user’s computer until the C9 Server is ready. The job is then processed
as soon as the previous job is finished and before the next queued job is processed. The Direct connection is
intended for downloading fonts and for use with test applications that require back channel information from the C9
Server. Generally, we do not recommend using Direct connection to print jobs.
Note:
To download fonts to the C9 Server, you must first publish the Direct connection.
Important:
In most cases, jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the C9 Server and cannot be
selected for reprinting, moving, or deletion. Therefore, the Direct connection provides a measure of security for
sensitive files. However, jobs sent to the Direct connection do appear in the Job Log for accounting purposes.
For full security, we recommend using Secure Erase.
Some jobs sent to the Direct connection cause temporary files to be stored on the C9 Server. This may occur with
