4-10 Managing Print Jobs
Using the copier
If you have a copier job that has priority over the spooled incoming print jobs you can
temporarily close the ColorPASS connection to the copier and then reopen it when
you have finished copying.
When there are no active printing jobs competing for the copier engine (no white job
lines in the Spool or RIP area), you do not need to suspend printing to make copies.
TO GIVE THE COPIER TOP PRIORITY AND LATER RESTORE COLORPASS PRIORITY:
1. From the Server menu, choose Suspend Printing, press the F5 key, or right-click the
Print status bar and choose Suspend Printing.
This suspends printing temporarily. Jobs continue to spool and RIP on the server as
long as disk space and RAM are available.
2. When you have finished with the copier job, choose Resume Printing from the Server
menu, press the F6 key, or right-click the Print status bar and choose Resume Printing.
The printing connection between the ColorPASS and the copier is reopened and
printing resumes.
Using the copier as a scanner
Scanning requires that you place the scan original on the copier, and that you run
Photoshop from a networked workstation. In a high-volume printing environment,
however, remote users who want to scan might have to wait for a connection to the
ColorPASS.
Under those circumstances you or another operator may prefer to take over the
scanning function. Ideally, you would set up a networked workstation near the copier
and run Photoshop. From this workstation you can scan jobs for users in the slow
printing times.
