How do I create a queue?
P r od u c t Na me Bo o k N am e
Create a new queue when you need to control the flow or handling
of documents in different ways.
To create a new queue:
1. Open Queue Manager.
2. From the Queue pull-down menu select [New...]. The New
Queue dialog opens.
3. In the Queue Name field, enter a meaningful name that will
help you identify the queue. For example, if the queue is set to
release jobs, the name may be PRINTER20RELEASE. The
name may consist of letters and/or numbers and can have up
to 25 characters, including underscores.
NOTE: When creating a queue to be used for lp/lpr printing,
the queue name must be limited to 14 characters. A queue
name longer than 14 characters will not be visible to the lp/lpr
gateway. This is a limitation of the gateway.
NOTE: The Printer Name is read only. It contains the name of
the connected printer.
4. Select a quantity to indicate the number of job sets that will be
printed for all jobs sent to this queue unless a different quantity
is specified in the job, itself. Select a number between 1 and
65,500.
Select [Override] if you want the Quantity setting to take
precedence over programming associated with individual jobs.
5. Set a priority from 1 (highest priority) to 100 (lowest priority) for
the queue. The default priority setting is 50.
Each queue for the printer is assigned a priority. The priority
tells the system the order in which the queues should be
processed. All jobs in the queue with the highest priority are
processed before jobs in queues with lower priorities. If a
priority is not set, a default priority of 50 is assigned to the
queue when it is created. If more than one queue has the
same priority, the queues are processed in repeating
succession.
6. If the Parallel RIP feature is available, select [Enable] or
[Disable].
NOTE: This feature will only appear if your system includes a
valid PPR license. See Setting Job Processing options for
more information
A typical site using Parallel RIP should have at least two
queues: one queue set for Page Parallel workflows and a
second queue set for unknown/non-DSC compliant workflows
such as object caching. This will enable the site to take full
advantage of Parallel RIP and VIPP caching respectively.
