Define the settings of an automated workflow

[Queue name]

You can enter a distinguishing name for the automated workflow (maximum 25 characters). This name is also used as a label on the control panel.

Different LPR queues can have the same label if the operator chooses to do so. In that case, the operator cannot distinguish from which specific queue a job has arrived. The LPR queue name is not displayed on the control panel.
