							Embedded Web Server job queue page
You can manage your printers job queue from the HP Utility, see Access the HP Utility on page 24, or
the printers Embedded Web Server, see 
Access the Embedded Web Server on page 23 .
The job queue page shows all jobs that are available in the printer job queue. It  includes jobs that are
being received, parsed, rendered, printed and already printed.
The following information is displayed for each job:
● Preview:  Click the icon to see the job preview. Th e job preview is available once the job is
processed.
● File name:  Click the file name to se e the properties of the job.
● Status:  Gives the current job status.
● Pages:  Number of pages in the job.
● Copies:  Number of copies printed.
● Date:  Date and time the printer received the job.
● User:  The users name.
Jobs in the queue can be sorted by any of the inform ation items (except Preview) by clicking on the title
of the corresponding column. You can perform the following operations on one or all jobs in the queue:
● Cancel:  Cancels the selected jobs. You are asked to  confirm before the job is canceled. The job
remains stored in the printer, but  it is not printed unless you click Reprint .
● Hold:  Holds the selected jobs until you click  Continue to print.
● Continue:  All selected jobs, which are on hold, continue printing.
● Reprint:  Prints more copies of a job. Type the numb er of copies (default 1, maximum 99) and
click  Print .
● Move to front:  Sends all selected jobs to the top of the job queue.
● Delete:  Deletes selected jobs from the job queue.  You are asked to confirm before the job is
deleted.
● Refresh:  Refreshes the page, ensuring the information is updated.
NOTE:The job queue page does  not automatically update.
Job preview
The printer samples all incoming jobs and generates a  JPEG file that can be served as a preview of the
job. This preview is available fo r all languages supported by the pr inter: PDF, PS, CALS/G4, TIFF and
JPEG.
TIP: Do not send a job for preview with more than 64 pages.

							Job preview is available once the job is processed. To access  the preview page, click the magnifying
glass icon, which appears in the Preview column on  the job queue page. The preview page shows the
following job details along with a thumbnail preview of the job:
● File name:  The file name of the job.
● Loaded paper:  The type of paper loaded in the printer.
● Job dimensions:  The dimensions of the job.
To see a larger preview of the job, click either th e job thumbnail or the magnifying glass icon, which
appears on the right hand side of the printer image.
NOTE: Browsers without the Macromedia plug-in show  the job image as yellow shaded. Browsers
that have the Macromedia flash plug-in version 7  and above shows an enhanced preview of the job
image inside the paper loaded in the printer.
Turn off the job queue
You can turn off the queue in the following ways:
● From the Embedded Web Server: select  Setup tab > Printer settings  > Job management
>  Queue  > Off.
● From the front panel: sele ct the Setup menu icon 
, then Job management options  >
Enable queue  > Off.
Pause the job queue
To pause the job queue, go to the fron t panel and select the Job Queue icon , then Pause
printing .
Select when to print a job in the queue
NOTE: The When To Start Printing options cannot be used with PostScript jobs.
You can select at what point you want to print a  file you have in the queue. From the Embedded Web
Server, select  Setup tab > Printer settings  > Start printing ; or, from the front panel, select the
Setup menu icon 
, then  Job management options  > When to start printing.
There are three options you can select:
● When  After Processing is selected, the printer waits until the whole page has been processed
and then it starts to print. This is the slowest  setting but ensures the best print quality in large or
complex prints.
● When  Immediately  is selected, the printer prints the page as  it is processed. This is the quickest
setting, but the printer may stop halfway throug h a print to process data. This setting is not
recommended for complex im ages with dense color.
● When  Optimized  is selected (this is the default setting),  the printer calculates the best time to
begin printing the page. It is usua lly the best compromise between the  After Processing and
Immediately  settings.

							Identify a job in the queue
The best way to look at the queue is in the Embedded Web Server (Main tab > Job 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 Job Queue icon
, then Job queue , where you can see a list of the jobs in the queue.
Each has an identifier, comprising:
: 
The job currently being printed ha s a pointing hand icon, jobs already printed have a check mark,
canceled jobs have crosses, processing jobs ha ve a clock and jobs on hold have a warning.
Prioritize 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.
Delete a job from the queue
Under normal circumstances, there is  no need to delete a job from the queue after printing it, as it is
removed from the queue as more file s 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 ca n delete a job that has not been printed yet.
If the job is currently being printed (Status =  printing in the Embedded Web Server, or it is the first job
in the queue in the front panel), and you want both  to cancel the job and to delete it, first click the
Cancel icon in the Embedded  Web Server, or press the Cancel  key on the front panel, and then delete
it from the queue.
Reprint or copy a job in the queue
To reprint or 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 is moved to the top of
the queue. To make more than one print of a non-pr inted job in the queue 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 is rotated.
You can reprint an already-prin ted job from the front panel. Select the Job Queue menu icon , then
select the job from the queue, then select  Reprint.

							Job status messages
These are the possible job status messages, approximately in the or der in which they may be seen:
● Receiving : the printer is receiving the job from the computer
● Waiting to process : the job has been received by the prin ter and is waiting to be rendered (for
jobs submitted through the Embedded Web Server only)
● Processing : the printer is parsing and rendering the job
● Preparing to print : the printer is performing writing sy stem checks before printing the job
● Waiting to print : the job is waiting for the print engine to become free to proceed with printing
● Waiting for nest : the printer is set up with nesting on  and is waiting for other jobs in order to
complete the nest and  proceed with printing
● On hold : the job was sent with the  on hold for preview option and is on hold
TIP:Do not send a job for previe w with more than 64 pages.
NOTE:If the printer hangs up while printing a jo b, and the queue facility is turned on, the
partially printed job appears in the queue as  on hold when the printer is next turned on. When
you resume the job, it starts printi ng at the page it was interrupted.
●
On hold for paper : the job cant be printed because pape r is not loaded in the printer. Load
the required paper, see 
Handle the paper on page 29, and click  Continue to resume the job
● On hold for accounting : the job cant be printed because the printer requires all jobs to have
an account ID: enter the account ID and then click  Continue to resume the job
● Printing
● Drying
● Cutting paper
● Ejecting page
● Canceling : the job is being canceled, but  remains in the printer job queue
● Deleting : the job is being deleted from the printer
● Printed
● Canceled: the job has been canceled by the printer
● Canceled by user
● Empty job : the job does not contain anything to print

The  Image Size  dialog box appears.
2.Set the sizing options.
●
Pixel Dimensions : Set the resulting image size
● Document Size and resolution : Set the resulting page size and resolution. As a general
guideline, consider setting the resolution accord ing to your print quality setting. Refer to the

● Constrain Proportions : Select this option if you want  to preserve height-to-width ratio of
your original image
● Resample Image : When an image is resampled, an  interpolation method is used to
assign color values to any new pixels that Ph otoshop creates, based on the color values of
existing pixels in the image.  Photoshop uses sophisticated me thods to preserve the quality

							and detail from the original image when you resample. Select from the following resampling
options:
◦ Nearest Neighbor : A fast but less precise method  that replicates the pixels in an
image. This method is for use with illustra tions that contain edges that are not anti-
aliased, to preserve hard edges and produc e a smaller file. However, this method can
produce jagged effects, which become appare nt when you distort or scale an image or
perform multiple manipu lations on a selection.
◦ Bilinear : A method that adds pixels by aver aging the color values of surrounding
pixels. It produces medium-quality results.
◦ Bicubic : A slower but more precise method based on an examination of the values of
surrounding pixels. Using more  complex calculations, Bicubic produces smoother tonal
gradations than Nearest Neighbor or Bilinear.
◦ Bicubic Smoother : A good method for enlargin g images based on Bicubic
interpolation but designed to  produce smoother results
◦ Bicubic Sharper : A good method for reducing the size of an image based on Bicubic
interpolation with enhanced sharpening.  This method maintains the detail in a
resampled image. If Bicubic  Sharper oversharpens some ar eas of an image, try using
Bicubic.
3. When you have finished setting the sizing options, click the  OK button.
4. Select  Print from the  File menu.
