Printing workflow options

First In/First Out (FIFO) printing

System Guide

4 Printing

This section addresses how to set printing workflow. It also
describes the printing utilities that are available in DocuSP
software and how to use DocuSP for TIFF orientation, MICR,
and VIPP printing.
The two printing workflow options available are First In/First
Out (FIFO) and Resource Based Scheduling (RBS).
First In/First out can be set either on a limited scheduling/
printing basis or as the default printing workflow for the site.
In either case FIFO printing provides the capability to force
jobs to fault and print in FIFO order without regard to
available paper stocks and other variables. Typical
applications include zip sorted work, VI print-for-one, direct
mail and financial data.
Resource Based Scheduling, which is the initial default
option, places jobs for which resources are available into the
print stream first. Jobs that require additional resources, like
media, are placed in an ineligible state awaiting resource
availability. Resource Based Scheduling optimizes the
utilization of the printer.
Workflow is referred to as FIFO when jobs are printed in the
same order in which they are received. For FIFO printing, the
Queue must also have the Release status set to Yes.
To set FIFO scheduling, perform the following:
1. Select [Setup] on the main menu.
2. Select [System Preferences].
3. Under Scheduling Mode, click FIFO.
NOTE: See the Online Help for detailed procedures.
