Redirecting Print Jobs

when a printer is busy

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.

Example: 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.

Notes: ❏ Logical Printer redirection cannot be nested. If PR3 is redirected

to another logical printer, the print job will not be redirected if

PR3 is busy.

❏ If both printers are busy, the print job will be printed on the

printer that first finishes its active print job.
