Chapter 4—Basic Workflows
Basic Job Workflow
The basic workflow in the IC-304 print controller consists of three
main stages:
1.
Submitting a file from a client workstation, or importing and
printing from the IC-304 print controller, see
2.
After a job is imported, the print engine starts to process the
job, see
3.
The job is printed and stored in the
Storage
area for future use,
see
Submitting
There are two methods for submitting a file for printing:
•
Submit a file from an application on your client workstation—for
example, PDL formats that were created on client workstations
that are not connected to the IC-304 print controller, or files
that are available only on external media.
•
You can also import job files that reside locally on the IC-304
print controller.
Processing
After a job enters the IC-304 print controller, it resides in the
queues or the
Storage
area, depending on the job flow. The queues
consists of two areas:
•
The
Process
Queue
lists the job currently being processed and
all the jobs that are waiting to be processed.
•
The
Queue
lists the job that is currently printing and all the
jobs that were processed successfully and are waiting to be
printed. The
Queue
also lists held jobs—for example, jobs
for which the specified paper stock is not available.
Each queue holds jobs in the order in which they enter the queue.
