Redirecting Print Jobs
when a Printer is Busy
If print data is received for a printer that is already busy, the host
normally must wait. However, if you have an AXIS 5550 it is possible to
use a logical printer to redirect the print data to another logical printer
when the target printer is busy. If the second printer is also busy, the host
must wait until the target printer is ready.
Example:
Follow the instructions below to redirect PR1 print jobs to PR3, when the
printer assigned to PR1 is busy:
1. From the print server’s internal Web page, select
Admin | Logical
Printers.
2. Select the
PR1
tab.
3. Set the
Physical Port
parameter to
USB1
.
1. Set the
Secondary Printer
parameter to
PR3
.
2. Set the
Wait On Busy
parameter to
NO
.
3. Click the
OK
button.
4. Select
Admin | Logical Printers
and the
PR3
tab.
5. Set the
Physical Port
parameter to
LPT1
.
6. Click the
OK
button.

• The two printers must use the same printer driver.
• Logical Printer redirection cannot be nested. If PR3 is redirected to another logical printer,
the print job will not be redirected if PR3 is busy.
• If both printers are busy, the print job will be printed on the printer that first finishes its
active print job.
