Printing System Guide5-4 Common ControllerWith FIFO Job Scheduling disabled, the Controller will schedulethe jobs for print as soon as they complete their “Receiving Data”status in Job Manager. Therefore, Job ID 2 will be scheduled forprint before Job ID 1 if Job ID 2 goes “Pending” before Job ID 1.The following table illustrates an example of FIFO JobScheduling.ASCII and PCL Printing UtilityASCII printing within various environments results in output thatis not always formatted as desired. Unfortunately, there is no"standard" method for printing ASCII files. ASCII is a characterset and is not a Page Description Language. Therefore, ASCIIfiles do not contain format commands nor is there a de factostandard for ASCII formatting. However, users often have therequirement to match a specific format. The utility below helpsenable this formatting flexibility along with the feature in QueueManager that enables the ability to select the default documentformat.Impact on DocuSP printersThe DocuSP software automatically wraps ASCII files with apredefined set of PostScript code and sends the data throughthe PostScript decomposer. Unfortunately, this predefinedformatting does not always meet customer ASCII printing needsand there are no "knobs" to change the formatting withinPostScript.Table 5-1.EventSequence Job ABC Job XYZLimited FIFOEnabledLimited FIFODisabled1 Received, assignedJob ID 12 “Receiving Data” Received, assignedJob ID 23 Still “Receiving Data” “Receiving Data”4 Still “Receiving Data” “Pending” Job 2 printsfirst5 “Pending” Still “Pending” Job 1 printsfirst
