Print queue
The Print queue is the standard E-42B queue. Jobs sent to the Print queue are processed and
printed in the order in which they are received. Jobs prioritized by an operator with the job
management tools and jobs sent via the Direct connection take priority over jobs sent to the
Print queue.
Direct connection
The Direct connection transmits jobs directly to the E-42B, but only when the E-42B is idle.
If the E-42B is busy, the job remains at the user’s computer until the E-42B is ready. The job
is then processed as soon as the previous job is finished and before the next queued job is
processed. The Direct connection is intended for downloading fonts and for use with test
applications that require back channel information from the E-42B. Generally, it is not
recommended that you use Direct connection to print jobs.

To download fonts to the E-42B, you must first publish the Direct connection.
In most cases, jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the E-42B and cannot be
selected for reprinting, moving, or deletion. Therefore, the Direct connection provides a
measure of security for sensitive files. Jobs sent to the Direct connection
do
appear in the Job
Log, for accounting purposes. However, for full security, it is recommended that you use
Secure Erase.
Some jobs sent to the Direct connection cause temporary files to be stored on the E-42B. This
may occur with the following types of jobs:
• PDF jobs
• TIFF jobs
• Jobs with the following settings:
– Reverse order printing (for large jobs)
– Booklet Maker
– Mixed Media
– Combine Separations
– Paper Catalog
