What Is The Queue - HP Designjet 700 User Manual

What is the Queue?

Your plotter can store plots in a queue at the same time as plotting the current file.
It stores them by page, though if you send only single-page files, you can regard
these as plots. The size of the queue is limited by the number of pages (maximum
32) and the total memory occupied by the queue;

depending on which memory expansion modules you have installed. Remember
that file size and memory usage are not the same thing, as explained on page 7-10.
However, it is clear that the larger your files are, the fewer you can store in the
queue.

If you turn queueing off while pages are still in the queue, they will be plotted and

maximum standard memory 11 MB through 75 MB
You can send one or more plots to the plotter without waiting for the current
page to finish.
You can manipulate the pages in the queue, for example prioritizing them and
replotting them.
You can use nesting, the plotter's media-saving feature (see page 6-10).
The plotter will not accept a file sent from the computer until the current page
has finished plotting and the plotter is ready.
You cannot use nesting (see page 6-10).
