select it and click the Hold button. The print

request will stay on hold until you select it again and click the Resume
button. You can also put the document that’s currently printing on hold by
dragging it to the list of documents waiting to print (lower part of the
window).

To indicate that a print request is urgent,

select it and click the Set Print Time

button. In the dialog box that opens, click Urgent. This moves the print
request to the top of your list.

To indicate that a print request should not print until a future time,

select it and

click the Set Print Time button. In the dialog box that opens, click At Time,
then set the time you want.

move their place in the list by

dragging their titles up or down in the list.

click the title of the column you

want to sort by. For example, to sort by the name of the document, click
“Document Name.” (You can also sort by choosing the commands in the
View menu.) The column title you sorted by is underlined. Sorting the
items does not change the order in which they will print. To see that order,
sort by Print Time.

m

To temporarily stop all documents from printing on this printer,

choose Stop Print

Queue from the Printing menu in the Finder menu bar. To resume using the
printer, choose Start Print Queue from the Printing menu.

Shortcut: Pressing the Option-Shift keys changes the Hold Job and Resume
Job buttons to Stop Queue and Start Queue.

Shortcut: The Printing menu for starting and stopping the print queue is
available without opening the window for the printer, so long as the
printer’s icon is selected on the desktop.

m

To move a print request from one printer to another printer of the same type

(for

example, from a LaserWriter 12/640 PS to a LaserWriter 4/600 PS), drag
the icon for the print request to the icon of the printer where you want to
move it. You can only move a print request from a LaserWriter 12/640 PS
to another PostScript printer. The printing software won’t let you move a
print request to an incompatible printer. For example, you can’t move a
request from a LaserWriter printer to a StyleWriter printer.
