1-2 About Job Management
Setting up an operator-controlled environment
This manual assumes you are working in an operator-controlled environment with
responsibility for managing job flow. To establish an operator-controlled environment,
you or the administrator must complete the following tasks:
Set up password privileges —The administrator must set up separate passwords for
operator access and administrator access to the GA-1121. For instructions on setting
up passwords, see the
Configuration Guide .
Publish the Hold queue only —The administrator must enable only the Hold queue,
not the Direct connection or the Print queue, in Setup. (For more information, see the
Configuration Guide .) This ensures that all jobs sent by remote users are spooled and
held on the GA-1121, in preparation for job management by the operator.
Establish communication between users and the operator —The operator and remote
users must agree on a method for communicating print needs, such as Fiery
FreeForm
™ masters. Users can attach instructions to jobs using print option and
notes fields (see page 1-5 ).
Understanding job flow
In an operator-controlled printing environment, remote users send jobs to the Hold
queue of the GA-1121. Using a job management utility, the operator views the list of
held jobs and decides when to release each job for processing and printing.
The operator may also intervene during the workflow, stopping jobs as they are
processed or printed, placing jobs on hold for future action, or overriding the
user-defined print settings for a job. In some cases, the operator may even modify a
job, duplicating or removing pages, or merging it with pages from another job before
releasing it for printing.
