2-19 Queues window
Hold queue jobs When printing requires an operator (because the Print
queue and Direct connection are disabled), the operator must assign a
destination to all jobs received from users on the network (icon 1 in the
previous table). Once assigned, jobs (icons 2 and 3) move down the Spool
queue for processing. All jobs printed to the Hold queue require routing by
an operator.
Print queue jobs When printing does not require an operator, network jobs
sent to the Print queue appear in the Spool area, where they are shown with a
white printer icon (icon 2). When they reach the head of the queue, they are
RIPped and printed without operator intervention.
Direct connection jobs Jobs printed to the Direct connection are not
displayed in the Command WorkStation job lists. They are displayed briefly
in the status bars (where they cannot be selected) and are included in the Job
Log.
RIP area
The job icons in the RIP area are described below:
After a job is rasterized, it goes into the RIP area. The RIP area holds only
raster data (for example, jobs that have been rasterized). Jobs in the RIP area
are either waiting for the copier/printer to be free (Print queue jobs, icon 2 in
the above table), or they are being held. Held jobs in the RIP area have
already been rasterized (RIP and Hold) or they have been printed and their
raster data has been routed back to the RIP area (Print and Hold), where they
are shown in yellow rows (icon 1).
NOTE: Raster jobs in the RIP area that are waiting to print (icon 2 in the
previous table) cannot be manipulated by job commands.
