Managing The Print Queue; Checking The Print Queue - AGFA Drystar 5500 User Manual

Managing the print queue

You can always check the status of the print jobs.
As long as the jobs are not yet submitted for printing (i.e. they are still in the
'waiting' status), you can assign emergency priority and delete individual
print jobs.

Checking the print queue

If jobs have been transmitted from the network to the printer, they are put in
the print queue on a first in, first out schedule. New jobs that are added to the
queue get the 'waiting' status.
As soon as the last film of a job is ejected in the output tray, the next job that
has been calculated will be put in printing status.
Example of the Print queue screen:
• The first line shows information on the job that is currently being printed:
modality name, a nickname (if defined), time of receipt of the job and the
job status.
• The second line shows how many films are to be printed for the current
job, and also what film from that total is currently being printed.
• On the third line you can watch the progress of the printing process. The
progress indicator is gradually filled from left to right, from 0% to 100% as
the process is completed. If no job is being printed, the progress indicator
will show the proceeding of the calculation process of the next job.
The other lines give information on the jobs that are still waiting in the print
queue. A description of the possible status of each job is listed in the table
below:

Note: Keep in mind that one print job can hold several films to
be printed. In accordance with the acquisition modality used,
and the actual settings, films can be grouped in a folder to be
