Basic Print Job Operations
Storage destination
The storage area on the printer's hard disk is divided into a temporary storage area and a permanent storage
area. The temporary storage area stores print jobs in the "job queue" or "shared mailbox." The permanent
storage area stores jobs in "personal boxes."
•
Job queue
The job queue refers to print jobs that are being processed by the printer (saved, received, prepared for
processing, printed, deleted, or held). Up to 64 jobs can be stored in the temporary storage area.
When the job queue is full, additional jobs sent from a computer are treated as "standby" jobs, to
be processed when possible.
However, if all queued jobs are simply being held, the oldest job is deleted and the print job sent from
the computer is processed.
•
Shared mailbox
Jobs for which you have specied Print in Output Method (in Windows) or Send job to (in Mac OS
X) are saved in the shared mailbox and classied as saved jobs.
There is one shared mailbox, numbered "00". A password cannot be set for the shared mailbox.
Up to 100 print jobs can be saved here, but they will be deleted one after another starting with the
oldest job in the following situations.
•
If there are more than 100 jobs queued and saved in the shared mailbox combined
•
If no more temporary storage space is available when jobs for which you have selected Print in
Output Method (in Windows) or Send job to (in Mac OS X) are received
•
If there is not enough space in the temporary or permanent storage area when jobs for which
you have selected Save in mail box in Output Method (in Windows) or Send job to (in Mac
OS X) are received
•
Personal boxes
Jobs are classied as saved jobs and saved in personal boxes in the following situations.
•
When a saved job stored in the shared mailbox is moved to a personal box
•
When you have selected Save in mail box as the option in Output Method (in Windows) or
Send job to (in Mac OS X)
There are 29 personal boxes, numbered "01" to "29". You can specify a name and password for each
personal box.
Up to 100 print jobs can be saved in all personal boxes combined.
