DQS server queue can be configured to direct print
jobs to a different DQS server queue.
• The DQS software can send notification to the user
after a print job has been completed.
• Additional queues can be added and queue attributes
changed without reinstalling the DQS software.

network of DQS nodes without reinstalling the soft-
ware on the existing nodes.
