Job Manager Tab  

A job is any production run whether it be reading-in a master (archive), copying an 
existing disc, copying and printing, or printing only. In addition to showing you the status 
of jobs, the job manager is where you will go start new jobs. 
 

 

Click

 the 

Job Manager

 tab. 

 

  

 

The screen will now show the 

Job manager

 tab where the progress of jobs 

submitted for production can be easily monitored. The 

Status

 tab is divided into 

three panes. The top pane is the JOB QUEUE window which lists all of the jobs 
waiting to be processed by displaying their assigned Job name, type of job, image 
path, total number of requested CDs, their assigned priority, as well as the names 
of their associated disc image and label files. 
 
The middle pane is the ACTIVE JOBS window that lists all the jobs currently 
being recorded or printed by the SCRIBE PC. Information displayed for each job 
includes its assigned Job name, type of job, total number of requested CDs, the 
number of successful CDs produced, the number of failed CDs produced, the 
immediate status of the job (copying images, loading discs, copying discs, 
unloading discs, etc.) and the progress. 
 
The lower pane is the 

finished

 

jobs

 window that lists all the jobs completed by the 

SCRIBE PC. Information displayed for each job includes its assigned Job name, 
type of job, image path, the total number of requested CDs, the number of 
successful CDs produced, the number of failed CDs produced, and the status.
