• Job handling while printing is in progress: functions for halting, continuing, cancelling
and immediately deleting jobs.
• Display of job progress during printing: you can see at a glance how many pages have
been sent to the printer and how many have already been physically printed.
• Functions for reprinting: jobs can be restarted at any particular page. Via PJL, the print-
er then outputs the job beginning at this page, skipping the pages preceding this point.
If only part of the job is to be printed, PRISMAspool stops transferring pages as soon
as the last page in the requested range has been printed. If a job is cancelled,
PRISMAspool notes the last printed page in the job ticket if you restart the job later, you
could select the page after this one as the new start point.
• Other job functions – you can change the form name, move jobs to a different target
printer, and display the job ticket with the statistics of the last printout etc.
• Accounting: when a job is printed or cancelled, PRISMAspool knows how many pages
have been printed physically. This data, plus the information from the job ticket, can be
stored in an accounting file.
• Data conversion: each form name can be assigned a converter or filter for processing
data. The system then runs the converter or filter before the data is printed.
• Input filter: this filter can extract information from a header page for use as a job ticket
in PRISMAspool. This enables the PRISMAspool functionality to be accessed by other
system environments.
• Rearranging of job list: the sort order of jobs can be changed by simple point-and-click
functions. There are also multiple sort options for listing jobs by configurable criteria.
• Changing the order of jobs in the print queue: each job can be moved to any position in
the list.
• Display filter: you can choose which jobs shall be displayed, e.g. just the jobs belonging
to a specific department.
Note: Some functionalities are available only for printers that support the PJL language.
5.1.2 Printer Control/Status
• PRISMAspool supports multiple printers, enabling simultaneous printing on the
devices.
• Each printer can be (logically) activated and deactivated, i.e. a printer is either enabled
or disabled for output.
