Page FormatSetting Page Size in the Front PanelImage AppearancePrint Management Printer Configuration Media & Ink Introduction Front Panel OtherPrinter OptionsIndex Solutions What is the Queue?Your printer can store pages in a queue at the same time as printing the current page. It stores them page by page. If you send only a single-page, you can regard these as files. The size of the queue is limited by number of jobs (maximum of 32 jobs) and the total memory available. The queue stores processed output pages, not the input jobs. NOTE: If you send a very complex PostScript job with Queueing Off, the printer may stop during printing of the image while it is processing the job. This may result in an image quality defect. To avoid this, always print very complex files with Queueing 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 default) , 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. You can re-send files which have already been printed.
Page FormatSetting Page Size in the Front PanelImage AppearancePrint Management Printer Configuration Media & Ink Introduction Front Panel OtherPrinter OptionsIndex Solutions Printing with Queueing Turned ONYou can send pages to the printer without waiting for the current page to finish printing. Pages are stored in the queue in the order they are received. You can manipulate the pages in the queue, for example prioritizing them and reprinting them. You can use nesting, the printers paper-saving feature (see Nesting Pages ). While one page is printing, the printer will accept and process the next file.
Page FormatSetting Page Size in the Front PanelImage AppearancePrint Management Printer Configuration Media & Ink Introduction Front Panel OtherPrinter OptionsIndex Solutions Printing with Queueing Turned OFFIf Queueing is Off and the printer receives print files, the files are printed as they are received, and are not stored in the queue. Nesting settings have no effect when Queueing is Off . Files are printed as they are received, and are not stored in the queue. The printer will not accept another file sent from the computer until the current page has finished printing and the printer is ready. You cannot use nesting. If you turn queueing off while pages are still in the queue, they will be printed and (if nesting is on) nested, until the queue is empty. NOTE: If the printer is turned off with files in the queue that have not been printed, the files are lost and must be resent.

See To Change the I/O Time-out Setting . Nesting may be on and the printer is waiting for the specified nest wait time-out period before calculating the appropriate nests. In this case, the printer display shows the remaining time for the nesting time-out. See How Long does the Printer Wait for Another File? . If your file has selected sheet or roll paper to print the job onto, but the selected paper is not loaded into the printer: – the front panel will prompt you to load the selected paper, once you load the paper the printer will print the job. – Press the Cancel key and re-send the job with paper that you have available. If you want to override the time-out period and star t printing, press Form Feed and Cut on the front panel. Form Feed and Cut Key

The queue positioning operates as follows: The job currently being printed is in position 0. The next job to be printed is in position 1. The one after in position 2, etc. … The previous job printed is in position -1 The one before that in position -2, etc. … Up to 32 Jobs Current job Jobs yet to be printedJobs already printedJob name Position in queue
Page FormatSetting Page Size in the Front PanelImage AppearancePrint Management Printer Configuration Media & Ink Introduction Front Panel OtherPrinter OptionsIndex Solutions Prioritizing a Job in the QueueTo make any job in the queue the next one to be printed, highlight it in the queue and press Enter. Then you mesu choose Move to top menu option to the job the next one to be printed . If nesting is turned on (see page What is Nesting? ) the prioritized job may still be nested with others. If you really want this job to be printed without nesting, then first turn nesting off and then use Move to top to make it next job in the queue. Deleting a Job from the QueueUnder 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. To remove a job that has not yet been printed, simply identify it by its position in the queue (see Prioritizing a Job in theQueue ) and delete it, by choosing Delete. If the job is currently being printed (its queue position is 0), and you want both to cancel the job and to delete it, first press the Cancel key and then delete it from the queue.

Use the following procedure to make copies of a job in the queue:NOTE: The setting you specify in this option overrides any value set by your software. NOTE: If Rotate (see page Rotating an Image ) was on when you sent the file, every copy will also be rotated. Copies and Reprints1. Select the job and choose Copies or Reprints (from the Job Management menu). 2. Use the scrolling keys to specify the number of copies required and press Enter . The number you enter is the actual number of pages to be printed; for example, choosing 2 for a page not yet printed means you will get the one original and one copy. The maximum is 99. If you want to cancel a Copies or Reprints selection choose the Cancel menu option for the file you have selected to print copies or reprints. Has the job already been printed? Do you want one copy or several? What to do Yes One Use Move to top (see Prioritizing a Job in the Queue ).
