17. Managing print jobs at the Command WorkStationXerox Phaser 79017–8Workflow scenariosThe workflow at your site will depend on the number and complexity ofjobs and the amount of responsibility given to the operator. Thissection suggests some ways you might interact with a job.Scenario 1At this site, the Print queue is enabled, and anyone at the CommandWorkStation can view the progress of jobs. A small job is sent to aserver and copier that are not busy. The job progress can be watchedfrom the top to the bottom of the Queues window.The green light on the Phaser 790 flashes, the network icon blinks; onthe Command WorkStation, the Spool status bar is animated and thejob title appears. As soon as spooling has finished, the Spool statusbar is cleared and the RIP status bar animates. Almost immediatelythereafter, the RIP status bar is cleared and the Print status baranimates. The printed job is listed below the Print status bar and thejob pages emerge from the Phaser 790. You move it to the mailbox ofthe person who sent the job.Scenario 2At this site, all jobs come to the Hold queue and therefore requireoperator intervention to proceed.Again, the network icon blinks, the Spool status bar is animated, andnow in the Spool area (below the status bar) the job title comes intoview. In a few moments the job is on the list, and the operator has timeto scan the headings for the job ticket information—media type, specialinstructions, copies, and pages.The operator must check printer readiness, job priority, and purpose(final output or a test print). The operator decides whether to put thejob in the print queue or hold it before processing it further. If theoperator does nothing, the job remains in the Spool area, and the fileremains on the printer disk.
