Learn about job management in the queues

The destination of a print job is determined when a job is submitted. However, the active workflow profile and the automated workflow can overrule the destination. Completed print jobs are stored in the list of printed jobs, if enabled.

When the print system is in the transaction printing mode, PRISMAsync routes the streaming jobs directly to the list of scheduled jobs.

Waiting jobs

When jobs arrive in the list of waiting jobs, you determine the print order of the jobs. You are also able to change print job settings or perform page programming. You can select one or more jobs by touching them or with one of the options in the [Select] menu. Give the [Print] command and the jobs go to the list of scheduled jobs.

To increase the print productivity, you can use the job bundle function to combine several jobs into a single job. The original jobs are no longer visible, but you can recover the original jobs with the split function. You can change some settings and the print order of the individual jobs in the bundled job.

DocBox

The DocBox is a job destination to collect jobs before printing. DocBox folders make it easy to group jobs according to a job owner or a department. There can also be DocBox folders for jobs that must be printed according specific requirements. The DocBox folder [Public] can be accessed by all operators.

The DocBox folders

The system administrator creates the DocBox folders. The system administrator can protect DocBox folders with a PIN. The DocBox folder [Public] can always be accessed without PIN. You use the [Lock] option to protect DocBox job information.

Scheduled jobs

The print system prints the jobs in the sequence of the list of scheduled jobs. However, you are able to change the print sequence when one or more jobs require priority. In addition, you can decide to postpone or stop a print job.

The schedule gives you up to eight hours of plan-ahead predictability into the print production. It tells you everything you need to know to avoid an idle print system.

Printed jobs

When a job is done, it is visible in the list of printed jobs. To re-print a printed job, you must select a printed job from the printed job list and touch the [Print] option. Via this option printed jobs can easily be re-directed to the scheduled job list. Printed jobs remain available after the print system is shut down. Proof prints or stopped jobs are not visible in the list of printed jobs.
