Priority
The Priority button allows you to set the relative priority for copy
and print jobs. The lower the number the higher the priority. The
default setting allows copy jobs to take priority over print jobs. This
allows the user who is standing at the machine making a copy to
generally receive their output before a print job.
To change the priority setting, use the scroll bars to ensure the type
of job (copy or Print) you want to print first has the lower number.
The wide range (1 - 16) is reserved for future enhancements.
A print job will be completed before the copy job begins to print
unless the Interrupt button is selected.
NOTE When copy jobs have priority, and several small print jobs are
formatted and waiting to be printed, the scanned copy job will
usually wait until a small image buffer (approximately 5 images)
empties. Then the copy job will print.
First In/First Out
Jobs are scheduled to print based on their entry into the Job Queue.
This is regardless of whether they are copy or print jobs.
