What is a schedule

When you work in document printing mode, the schedule of a printer predicts the job production time and offers a daily (8 hours) plan board. The schedule provides all information about the scheduled jobs on a moving timeline, so you are able to intervene in time and keep your printers running.

PRISMAremote Manager shows one schedule per connected printer.

  • Yellow means that the printer cannot exactly determine the filling level in the paper trays or in the output location. This can occur when the thickness of the media is unknown or when prints are folded.

  • Gray means that the amount of job media or the filling level of the output tray cannot be calculated. This occurs when the printer is in transaction printing mode or for streaming jobs.
