Managing the Job Queues

Batching Jobs
The job-batching workflow combines jobs with similar attributes into a
single batch to enable the printer to print the jobs continuously without
pausing. This feature saves printing time, especially for a large number of
small jobs. Jobs that use paper of the same size and weight are suitable for
batching.
When a job enters the
Print Queue,
the Spire CX250 color server checks
whether the job is suitable for batching with the previous one.
•
A job that can be batched appears with the
running
status indicator
. The printer prints both jobs without pausing between them.
•
A job that cannot be batched with the previous one waits in the queue
and appears with the
waiting
status indicator . It is printed only
when the printer finishes the previous job and comes to a stop.
The Spire CX250 color server batches suitable jobs only if they are
consecutive in the queue. Two jobs are not batched if a job that is not
suitable comes between them in the queue.
The following types of jobs cannot be combined into one batch:
•
Collated jobs and uncollated jobs
•
Jobs that use different output trays
•
Jobs with different staple positions
The job batching option is active by default.
To deactivate job batching:
¾
In the Settings window (
Tools>Settings
), select
Preferences
>
Queue Manager
>
Disable Job Batching
.
