3. Job Area

This area is used to perform operations such as outputting jobs and configuring their settings.

  1. Print queue

    Displays jobs (source data names) waiting to be printed or being printed. The [Status] field shows the progress information during printing.

  2. RIP queue

    Displays jobs (source data names) waiting to be processed by the RIP or being processed by the RIP. The [Status] field shows the progress information during processing by the RIP.

  3. Job list
    Displays jobs (source data names) registered in the queue folder. To select a job to be processed by the RIP or printed, click the desired job. To display a shortcut menu with a list of operations (the same functions as the job tool bar), right-click the desired job. Click the tabs at the top of the list to switch the display between the job lists of Queue A and Queue B. The [Status] field shows the job status using the following icons:
