Direct connection

Jobs are transmitted to the Pi6500 Pro Direct connection only when the Pi6500 Pro is
ready to print. They remain at the sending workstation until the Pi6500 Pro is ready,
and are processed as soon as a prior job is finished, before the next queued job is
processed.
Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the Pi6500 Pro hard disk. The
jobs appear in the Fiery WebSpooler displays of current jobs, but they cannot be
selected for reprinting, moving, or deletion. Therefore, the Direct connection provides
a measure of security for sensitive jobs. If you plan to download fonts to the
Pi6500 Pro via the network, you must publish the Direct connection.
You cannot use the Direct connection for lpd printing over TCP/IP. You can,

however, use the Direct connection for downloading fonts.

Queues

A queue is a storage area for print jobs. Queues are particularly useful when many print
jobs are being sent to the Pi6500 Pro. When a job is printed to a Pi6500 Pro queue, it
is stored on the Pi6500 Pro hard disk rather than the user's hard disk, quickly freeing
up the user's workstation.
Users can print only to published connections. However, job storage areas for all
queues exist on the Pi6500 Pro, so that administrators or other users of
Fiery WebSpooler can move or copy jobs to the Print or Hold queue, whether or not
these queues are published.
