Job queue in the Embedded Web Server or HP DesignJet Utility
The HP DesignJet Utility provides a dierent way of accessing the Embedded Web Server's job management
facilities, but the facilities are exactly the same whether you use the Embedded Web Server or the HP DesignJet
Utility.
To see the queue in the Embedded Web Server, select the Main menu, then Job queue.
To see the queue in the HP Utility, select the printer, then Admin, then the Job Center.
Job queue page
By default, access to the job queue is open to all users. An administrator can set a password so that users are
required to enter a password to access the page.
The job queue page shows all jobs that are available in the print queue. The print queue includes jobs that are
being received, parsed, rendered, printed and already printed.
The Embedded Web Server displays the following information for each print job:
● File name: The name of the job
● Status: The current status of the job
● Pages: The number of pages in the job
● Copies: The number of copies printed
● Total: The total number of pages (including copies)
● Sent by: The username
● Account ID: The account ID for the job
● Date: The date and time attached to the job that was received by the printer, shown in the locale of the
Embedded Web Server
● File source: The application from which the job was sent to print
● Paper destination: The output option selected for the printed job
Jobs in the queue can be sorted by any of the information items (except Preview) by clicking on the title of the
corresponding column. You can perform the following operations on one or all jobs in the queue:
● Cancel: Cancels the selected jobs. You are asked to conrm before the job is canceled. The job remains
stored in the printer, but will not be printed unless you click Reprint.
● Hold: Holds the select jobs until you click Continue to print.
● Resume: All selected jobs, which are on hold, continue printing.
● Reprint: Prints more copies of a job.
● Next print: Sends all selected jobs to the top of the job queue.
● Print anyway: The printer will try to print the job even if there is some problem with it.
● Delete: Deletes selected jobs from the job queue. You are asked to conrm before the job is deleted.
Prioritize a job in the queue
You can select any job in the queue and make it the next one to be printed. After selecting the job, click Move to
front.
