Printing and queue management Queue management The Queue Manager window displays all the queues available on the printer. Think of each queue as a virtual printer with unique characteristics defined when the queue is created. The queue list displays the name, priority, and job acceptance and release status for any queues available on the system. Queue management involves creating and enabling queues to receive jobs to help manage the flow of jobs through the printing system. Queues allow you to manage jobs by: • Controlling when to accept jobs from the network or host. • Controlling when to release jobs. • Defining default parameters (like 1- or 2-sided) for jobs. • Overriding job parameters. • Feeding from a specific tray rather than specifying a paper stock (generally used for LCDS jobs). Access Queue Manager by selecting [Queue: Queue Manager...] menu option, or the Queue Manager icon on the shortcut bar. Refer to FreeFlow Print Server Help for more information on the Queue Manager. Transaction printing FreeFlow Print Server handles transactional data such as Xerox LCDS and IBM IPDS. This section briefly covers considerations for these types of data streams, and cites references for more detailed information. IPDS (Intelligent Printer Data Stream) IPDS, or Intelligent Printer Data Stream, is a print data stream defined by IBM. IPDS is an optional feature for FreeFlow Print Server and is enabled by a single license called IPDS Interpreter License. If your system does not have the IPDS license, the FreeFlow Print Server IPDS dialogues and the FreeFlow Print Server IPS Manager menu do not display on your system. IPDS data is a sequence of information transmitted by an IBM host computer as directed by a host print application, such as the Print Service Facility (PSF). In addition to delivering print information, the IPDS data stream performs printer control functions and shares job status information. 3-16 System Guide
