Printing jobs

Jobs begin the printing process in the Print Queue. Their position on the list depends on
urgency, substrate type, substrate thickness, number of colors in the job, or other job
properties.
Arrange the jobs in the list to facilitate the workflow. For example, all jobs that use the
same substrate type or all jobs that use the same fifth and sixth color should be grouped
and printed consecutively. It is impossible to set guidelines for the best way to organize
your Print Queue because priorities change daily. But the system is flexible enough to let
you customize the Print Queue every day in accordance with your needs and preferences.
