6. Preparing for the setup Printer connections The DocuColor 2006 supports three print connections: • Hold queue - Jobs that are sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the printer hard disk for printing at a later time or for repeated printing. Because the Hold queue is a storage place, jobs sent to is cannot be printed without being released through the job management tools. • Print queue - This is the standard printer queue. Jobs sent to the Print queue are processed and printed in the order received. Jobs prioritized by an operator from the job management tools and jobs sent through the Direct connection can take priority over jobs sent to the Print queue. • Direct connection - This connection transmits jobs directly to the printer, but only when the printer is not processing another job. If the printer is busy, the job remains at the user workstation until the printer is ready. The job is then processed as soon as the previous job is finished and before the next queued job is processed. Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the printer hard disk and cannot be selected for reprinting, moving, or deletion. Therefore, this connection provides a measure of security for sensitive files. Jobs sent to the Direct connection are displayed in the Job Log. You cannot use the Direct connection for lpd printing over TCP/IP. To download fonts to the printer, you must publish the Direct connection. These print connections can be enabled or published in Printer Setup. All published connections are constantly checked for the presence of jobs. To use the Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools, enable either the Hold queue or the Print queue. The Print queue and Direct connection give remote users more direct access to the printer than the Hold queue. Therefore, the Print queue and Direct queue should not be published in environments that require stricter control. In addition, you can enable the Printed queue, a storage area for the most recent jobs from the Print queue, and specify the maximum number of jobs retained. Using jobs management tools, a user can reprint jobs in the Printed queue. 6-2 Xerox DocuColor 2006
