Hold Queue; Direct Connection - Canon imagePRESS Server G200 Configuration And Setup

Jobs prioritized by an operator with the job management tools and jobs sent via the Direct connection take priority
over jobs sent to the Print queue.

Hold queue

Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the imagePRESS Server 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 imagePRESS Server, but only when the imagePRESS Server is
idle.
If the imagePRESS Server is busy, the job remains at the user's computer until the imagePRESS Server 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 imagePRESS Server. Generally, we do not recommend using Direct connection to print jobs.
Note: To download fonts to the imagePRESS Server, you must first publish the Direct connection.
Important: In most cases, jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the imagePRESS Server 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.
Note: Fax jobs cannot be sent to the Direct connection, and do not appear in the Job Log. Sending jobs to the Direct
connection could cause unexpected results.
Some jobs sent to the Direct connection cause temporary files to be stored on the imagePRESS Server. 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
•
Paper Catalog
•
Gang-up printing
