3-21 Queues window
The Spool area is both the receiving area for jobs from users on the network (Hold
queue) and the waiting area for jobs that will be RIPped.
Hold queue jobs When printing requires an operator (because the Print queue and
Direct connection are disabled), the operator must assign a destination to all jobs
received from users on the network (icon 1 in the table above). Once assigned, jobs
(icons 2, 3, and 4) move down the Spool queue for processing. All jobs printed to the
Hold queue require routing by an operator. The Hold queue also enables you to use all
workflow features of the Command WorkStation with PDF files, including
DocBuilder Pro and the Imposition feature.
Print queue jobs When printing does not require an operator, network jobs sent to
the Print queue appear in the Spool area where they are shown with a white printer
icon (icon 2). When they reach the head of the queue, they are RIPped and printed
without operator intervention.
Direct connection jobs Jobs printed to the Direct connection are not displayed in the
Command WorkStation job lists. They are displayed briefly in the status bars (where
they cannot be selected) and are included in the Job Log.
