Printer Connections
The DP-C106 supports three print connections:
•
Hold Queue — Jobs that are sent to the Hold queue are spooled
to the printer hard disk for printing at a later time or for repeated
printing. Because the Hold Queue is a storage place, jobs sent to
it cannot be printed without being released through the job
management tools.
•
Print Queue — This is the standard printer queue. Jobs sent to
the Print queue are processed and printed in the order received.
Jobs prioritized by an operator from the job management tools
and jobs sent through the Direct connection can take priority over
jobs sent to the Print queue.
•
Direct Connection — This Connection transmits jobs directly to
the printer, but only when the printer is not processing another job.
If the printer is busy, the job remains at the user workstation until
the printer is ready. The job is then processed as soon as the
previous job is finished and before the next queued job is
processed.
Jobs sent to the Direct Connection are not stored on the printer
hard disk and cannot be selected for reprinting, moving, or
deletion. Therefore, this connection provides a measure of
security for sensitive files. Jobs sent to the Direct Connection are
displayed in the Job Log. You cannot use the Direct Connection
for lpd printing over TCP/IP.
To download fonts to the printer, you must publish the Direct
Connection.
These print connections can be enabled or published in Printer Setup.
All published connections are constantly checked for the presence of
jobs. To use the Fiery Utilities and Fiery WebTools, enable either the
Hold Queue and/or the Print Queue.
The Print Queue and Direct Connection give remote users more direct
access to the printer than the Hold Queue. Therefore, the Print Queue
and Direct Connection should not be published in environments that
require stricter control.
In addition, you can enable the Printed Queue, a storage area for the
most recent jobs from the Print Queue, and specify the maximum
number of jobs retained. Using jobs management tools, a user can
reprint jobs in the Printed Queue.
