Managing The Print Queue - AGFA Drystar 4500 Reference 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.
Keep in mind that one print job can hold several films to be printed. In accordance
with the acquisition modality used, and with the actual settings, films can be
grouped in a folder to be submitted as one print job for the Drystar 4500. Refer to
the User manual of the acquisition modality for more information.
Checking the print queue
If jobs have been transmitted from the network to the Drystar 4500, 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:
<Modality name>
<Modality name>
<Modality name>
<Modality name>
The first line shows information on the job that is currently being printed:
•
modality name or 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.
