Print queue
The Print queue is the standard E300 queue. Jobs sent to the Print queue are processed and printed in the order in
which they are received.
Hold queue
Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the E300 hard disk drive for printing at a later time, or for reprinting.
Because the Hold queue is a storage area, jobs sent to it cannot proceed through the printing process until the
operator intervenes using the job management tools.
Direct connection
The Direct connection transmits jobs directly to the E300, but only when the E300 is idle.
If the E300 is busy, the job remains at the user’s computer until the E300 is ready. The job is then processed as soon
as the previous job is finished and before the next queued job is processed. The Direct connection is intended for
downloading fonts and for use with test applications that require back channel information from the E300.
Generally, we do not recommend using Direct connection to print jobs.
Note:
To download fonts to the E300, you must first publish the Direct connection.
Important:
In most cases, jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the E300 and cannot be selected
for reprinting, moving, or deletion. Therefore, the Direct connection provides a measure of security for
sensitive files. However, jobs sent to the Direct connection do appear in the Job Log for accounting purposes.
For full security, we recommend using Secure Erase.
Some jobs sent to the Direct connection cause temporary files to be stored on the E300. This may occur with the
following types of jobs:
•
PDF jobs are redirected to the Print queue. However, PDF jobs sent to the Direct connection by LPR can be
printed directly.
•
TIFF jobs
•
VDP jobs (including Free Form Jobs)
•
Jobs with the following settings:
•
Reverse order printing (for large jobs)
•
Booklet Maker
•
Mixed Media
•
Combine Separations
•
Gang-up printing
•
N-up printing
•
Pages per sheet
