3-8 Managing Print Jobs
Scenario 2 At this site, all jobs come to the Hold queue and therefore
require operator intervention to proceed.
Again, the green light on the iR C2100/2100S flashes, the network icon
blinks, the Spool status bar is animated, and now in the Spool area (below
the status bar) the job title comes into view. In a few moments the job is
on the list, and you have time to scan the headings for the job ticket
information—media type, special instructions, copies, and pages.
Are you ready for this job to print? Do other jobs have priority? What is the
job for—is it final output or a test print? The first choice is whether to put
the job in the print queue or hold it before processing it further. If you do
nothing, the job remains in the Spool area, and the file remains on the server
disk.
Perhaps this is a routine job and does not call for special handling. You right-
click the job and choose Print. You notice the RIP status bar animate, and
almost immediately, the Print status bar animates. The printed job is listed
below the Print status bar and the job pages emerge from the copier/printer.
The next job is a large job that you have not seen before. The Instructions
field indicates that the originator of the job wants to check one printout of
the job before you print another 50 copies. You make sure the Copies field is
set to 1, right-click the job, and choose Print and Hold.
The RIP status bar animates and displays the job title, and then the Print
status bar and copy 1 of the job emerges from the copier/printer. You call the
sender of the job for approval. When the job is approved, you set the number
of copies to 50, right-click the job now being held in the RIP area and choose
Print.
Scenario 3 Everyone has discovered the copier/printer on the network and
jobs are coming in rapidly. You right-click several routine jobs in the Spool
area and choose Print to let the server print them one after the other. You
choose Print and Hold if you know you will be reprinting the job soon. You
remove printed jobs from the output trays and replenish media.
While some jobs are flowing through the queues and printing, you are
preparing for jobs that require more attention, such as obtaining special
paper, using DocBuilder to merge two documents, or notifying the originator
of a job that a PostScript error occurred.
