    A queue is a storage area for print jobs. Queues are particularly useful when many print jobs are being sent to the Pi6500 Pro. When a job is printed to a Pi6500 Pro queue, it is stored on the Pi6500 Pro hard disk rather than the user’s hard disk, quickly freeing up the user’s workstation.
  • Page 67 2-37 Printer Setup options The Pi6500 Pro hard disk supports up to three queues (Print, Hold, and Printed). Users may print to two of them (Print and Hold). • —This is the standard Pi6500 Pro queue. The Pi6500 Pro prints jobs Print queue from the Print queue in the order in which they were received.
  • Page 68 This option enables users to print (or download) jobs to the Print queue. Jobs printed to the Print queue are spooled to the Pi6500 Pro disk and printed on a first-in, first-out basis. Only the connections published in Printer Setup are available to users.

Jobs sent to the Pi6500 Pro that do not match the personality selected on the Pi6500 Pro are not printed. In Auto mode, the Pi6500 Pro switches to the appropriate page description language for each job.
  • Page 70 Print Cover Page Yes/No [No] Use this option to specify whether the Pi6500 Pro prints a cover (job summary) page at the end of each print job. If you select Yes, each print job is followed by a page containing the name of the user who sent the job, the document name, the server name, the time the job was printed, the number of pages printed, and the status of the job.
  • Page 71 2-41 PCL Setup options PCL Setup options PCL (Printer Control Language) printer drivers are provided with the Pi6500 Pro on the User Software CD. PCL Setup allows you to set defaults to control printer output. These defaults can be overridden by the user from within an application, but they determine how a job will be printed in the absence of other information.
