Network Operations
Using the Printer Pool
When the first printer has taken as many jobs as it can handle (that being two jobs - one to be
printed immediately, the other waiting), the following jobs “spill over” to the second printer,
and then to the third printer.
Note that if you are only printing two jobs, they would both go to the first printer. Pooling is
a spill-over methodology. It does not balance printer usage.
Once the pool has been set up, maintenance and configuration changes should be done
through the menus for each individual printer, not through the pool (which can produce
undesirable results).
Note • Send print jobs to the printer pool, not to an individual printer.
Important • The effect of any maintenance and/or changes can (and should) be tested by
sending print jobs separately to each printer, not to the pool.
