Managing Jobs in Queues 2-9
When the Direct job is done RIPing, the next job enters the
RIP and all other jobs appear in the Input queues to which
they were routed.
◆
No other jobs can be processed on the server when a Direct
job is being processed by the RIP.
◆
When you send a job to print through the Direct input
queue, the Port icon from which the job was sent will remain
green until the job is completely processed by the RIP, its
Preview created (if applicable), and it reaches the Output
queue.
◆
Although a Direct job takes priority over any other jobs wait-
ing in a queue, a Direct connection from your computer to
the server is not continuous. A queued job will print before
you can reconnect your computer to the port and send a sec-
ond Direct job. Be sure to wait for the RIP to finish process-
ing any job before sending another Direct job. If you want to
print several Direct jobs in a row, move or route all lower pri-
ority jobs to a Hold Queue or pause the Input queue.
◆
When a print job is sent through the Direct input queue, the
RIP displays the amount of data it has processed, in kilo-
bytes (KB) and then megabytes (MB), beneath the RIP icon.
