DocuColor 40 CP print connections
Direct connection
Jobs are transmitted to the DocuColor 40 CP Direct connection only when the
DocuColor 40 CP is ready to print. They remain at the sending workstation until the
DocuColor 40 CP is ready, and are processed as soon as a prior job is finished, before
the next queued job is processed.
Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the DocuColor 40 CP hard disk.
The jobs appear in the WebSpooler display of current jobs, but they cannot be selected
for reprinting, moving, or deletion. Therefore the Direct connection provides a mea-
sure of security for sensitive files. If you plan to download fonts to the
DocuColor 40 CP via the network, you must publish the Direct connection.

You cannot use the Direct connection for lpd printing over TCP/IP. You can,
however, use the Direct connection for downloading fonts.
Queues
A queue is a storage area for print jobs. Queues are particularly useful when many
print jobs are being sent to the DocuColor 40 CP. When a job is printed to a
DocuColor 40 CP queue, it is stored on the DocuColor 40 CP hard disk rather than
the user’s hard disk, quickly freeing up the user’s workstation.
The DocuColor 40 CP hard disk supports up to three queues (Print, Hold, and
Printed). Users can print to two of them (Print and Hold) provided they are pub-
lished.
•
Print queue
—This is the standard DocuColor 40 CP queue. The DocuColor 40 CP
prints jobs from the Print queue in the order in which they were received.
•
Hold queue
—The Hold queue can be used for storing jobs that will be printed at a
later time, and jobs that will be printed repeatedly. If you plan to use the DocuColor
utilities, you must publish the Hold queue.
Because the Hold queue is a storage place for jobs, it requires intervention on the
part of an administrator or operator. In order to print a job in the Hold queue, the
job has to be moved or copied from the Hold queue to the Print queue. Printing and
deleting jobs from the Hold queue requires WebSpooler.
