Enable
Direct Q
YES (default)
NO Notes
• The Direct queue is
different from the other
queues in that it has no
job storage
capabilities.
• When the Direct queue
is enabled it receives
jobs that network users
submit to it.
• When the Direct queue
has a job, it receives
and prints the job
either immediately, or
if the printer is busy it
receives and prints the
job as soon as the
printer finishes the
currently-printing job.
• Until the Direct queue
is ready to receive and
print a job, the job
remains at the sending
server, workstation,
PC, or Macintosh.
• You must enable either
Print or Direct or both.
Macintosh
The Direct queue must be
enabled for network users
to download fonts to the
printer using the
Downloader utility. Windows NT
Setting Enable Direct to
YES allows you to attach
the NT server to the Direct
queue using AppleTalk or
TCP/IP.
The Direct queue must be
enabled for network users
to download fonts to the
printer using the
Downloader utility.
NetWare
Enable the Direct queue so
that you can attach the
NetWare server to it.
The Direct queue must be
enabled for network users
to download fonts to the
printer using the
Downloader utility. TCP/IP
When the Direct queue is
enabled and the printer
has a valid TCP/IP
address, TCP/IP users can
send jobs to it using the
queue named
ibmcolor_direct.
Enable Hold Q
Notes
• YES allows network
users to put jobs in the
Hold queue.
• Jobs in this queue can
only be printed or
thrown away by using
the Spooler utility to
move them to the Print
queue or delete them.
• An end user can use
the Spooler on his or
her own jobs.
• A person with the
printer password can
use the Spooler on
everyone’s jobs.
Macintosh
• When AppleTalk and
the Hold queue are
enabled, Macintosh
users can print directly
to the Hold queue.
• Using the Downloader
utility, Macintosh users
can download
PostScript jobs to the
Hold queue.
Windows NT
• When AppleTalk or
TCP/IP and the Hold
queue are enabled, NT
workstations can print
directly to the Hold
queue.
• Using the Downloader
utility, NT clients can
download PostScript
jobs to the Hold queue.
YES (default)
NO
NetWare
Using the Downloader
utility, NetWare clients can
download PostScript jobs
to the Hold queue. TCP/IP
When the Hold queue is
enabled and the printer
has a valid TCP/IP
address, TCP/IP users can
send jobs to it using the
queue named
ibmcolor_hold.
Note:
This is not
recommended! Once in
the Hold queue, jobs
cannot be affected by
lpr
commands.
