Introduction to Command WorkStation and Command WorkStation LE

Display the Activity Monitor by choosing Activity Monitor from the Windows menu. 
In Command WorkStation, you can use the server selection menu in the Active Jobs 
window to display job activity for an individual GA-1121, or for all servers (see 

page 2-11

).

All Servers view*

In Command WorkStation, the All Servers view of the Activity Monitor summarizes 
the activity on all connected GA-1121 servers.

Server Name

—Each GA-1121 appears in a Server Name bar. Click the bar to expand 

or collapse activity information for a particular GA-1121.

Spooling, processing, and printing jobs

—When you expand the Server Name bar 

for an GA-1121, any current job activity on that GA-1121 appears next to a 
corresponding status box (spooling, processing, or printing). If the Command 
Workstation for the GA-1121 is connected to more than one copier/printer, the 
copier/printer handling the job is listed under the job name. When no activity 
occurs on the GA-1121, the status boxes read Idle.

Error conditions

—When an error occurs, the Server Name bar for the affected 

GA-1121 appears highlighted in red. Details of the error appear under the expanded 
bar.

Selected Server view

When you select an individual GA-1121 in Command WorkStation, the Activity 
Monitor provides a more detailed summary of the current activity on that GA-1121. 
In Command WorkStation LE, the Activity Monitor always displays the current 
activity on the connected GA-1121. Animated images provide visual indications of the 
job activity.
