The Queue Monitor window displays all the current print jobs in priority order. It also
indicates the current status of the active (printing) job, the name of the user who submitted
each job, and the number of pages and sheets in each job. The number of pages is the
number of pages in the document. The number of sheets is the physical number of pages in
the queue, which reflects the number of copies or the number of pages printed on one sheet
of paper. For example, a Page/Sheets value of 4/20 appears if a user prints five copies of a
four-page document.
Stopping a Print Job
You can stop a job from printing by putting it or the queue in which it resides on hold.
To put a single print job on hold, see the following section. To put a print queue on hold to
stop jobs from printing, see “Putting a Print Queue on Hold (Stopping a Print Queue)” on
page 327.
Putting a Print Job on Hold
When you put a print job on hold, it is not printed until you take it off hold or until the date
and time you set it to be printed has been reached. If the job has already started to print,
printing stops and the job remains in the queue. When you take the job off hold, printing
starts from the beginning of the job.
Use Shift-click or Command-click to select multiple jobs and put them all on hold at the
same time.
To put a print job on hold:
1 In Server Settings, click the File & Print tab.
2 Click Print and choose Show Print Monitor.
3 Select the queue containing the job, then click Show Queue Monitor.
4 Select the job and click Hold.
5 If you want to take the job off hold automatically at a certain time, click Set Priority, then
specify the date and time to release the job for printing.
If there are other jobs of equal or higher priority in the print queue when the print job is
released, the actual print time will be later.
Restarting a Print Job
When a print job has been placed on hold, it is not printed until you restart the job or until
the time you set it to be printed has been reached.
Note: If you put the print queue on hold, restart the print queue to print the job.
