Redirecting Print Jobs
when a printer is busy
Example:
Notes:
If print data is received for a printer that is already busy, the host must
wait. However, it is possible to use a logical printer to redirect the
print data to another logical printer when the target printer is busy. If
the second printer is also busy, the host must wait until the target
printer is ready.
Follow the instructions below to redirect PR1 print jobs to PR3, when
the printer assigned to PR1 is busy:
1. Select the Printer1 Web page.
2. Set the Physical Port parameter to LPT1.
3. Set the Secondary Printer parameter to PR3.
4. Set the Wait On Busy parameter to NO.
5. Click the Submit Printer1 settings button.
6. Select the Printer3 Web page.
7. Set the Physical Port parameter to LPT2.
8. Click the Submit Printer3 settings button.
Logical Printer redirections cannot be nested. PR3, in the example
above, cannot be redirected to another logical printer. The print
job must wait if PR3 is busy as well.
When the primary and secondary printers are busy, the print job
will be printed on the printer that first finishes its active print job.
