Print Queue; Hold Queue; Direct Connection - EFI Kyocera 17 Configuration And Setup

Configuring print connections
The PS-17 supports several print connections, which determine how users can submit jobs to the PS-17 and
subsequently the printer.
To use utilities and WebTools, you must enable at least one print connection in Configure. Select Job Submission >
Queues.
The following print connections can be configured:
•

Print queue

on page 38
•

Hold queue

on page 38
•

Direct connection

on page 38
•
Font queue on page 39
All published print connections are constantly checked for the presence of jobs.
If more than one PS-17 print connection is published, it may be useful to create separate printer instances on your
computer so that you can print separately to each print connection.
For example, if both the Hold queue and Print queue are published, create a Hold printer and a Print printer on your
computer.
Print queue
The Print queue is the standard PS-17 queue. Jobs sent to the Print queue are processed and printed in the order in
which they are received.
Jobs prioritized by an operator with the job management tools and jobs sent via the Direct connection take priority
over jobs sent to the Print queue.
Hold queue
Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the PS-17 hard disk drive for printing at a later time, or for reprinting.
Because the Hold queue is a storage area, jobs sent to it cannot proceed through the printing process until the
operator intervenes using the job management tools.
Direct connection
The Direct connection transmits jobs directly to the PS-17, but only when the PS-17 is idle.
If the PS-17 is busy, the job remains at the user's computer until the PS-17 is ready. The job is then processed as soon
as the previous job is finished and before the next queued job is processed. Generally, we do not recommend using
Direct connection to print jobs.
