Micro-PWC OPERATOR’S MANUAL

36 Micro-PWC Features

When the Device Name button is clicked, the Printer Queue Control window (

Figure 3-11

) will be dis-

played.

The first item in the Printer Queue Control window is the name of the device. Below this identifier the win-
dow is divided into two main sections. The first of these is labelled Cancel and contains two buttons:

Current Item

All Items

Click Current Item to terminate the job which is active in the device. Click All Items to terminate the active
job and delete all other entries from the queue for that device.

Cancelling a job removes its entry from the print queue; however, any portion of the job which has already
been loaded into buffer space (in any relevant device, such as the printer, the Micro-PWC, and so on) will
be printed. Therefore, it is not unusual for a few pages of a job to print out after the job has been canceled.

The next portion of the window is labelled Control, which also contains two buttons:

Suspend

Normal

Click Suspend to suspend operation of the device (Suspend mode). When in Suspend mode, processing
of any jobs in the queue will be completed, but no new jobs will be accepted in the queue. Click Normal to
return to normal operation.

3.4.2.5 Printer Queue Information

The Node field on the Device Status window displays the name of the node which is currently serving the
print device.

When a device is operating normally, nothing is displayed in the Assign field. When a device fails, the
Assign field will display the device name of the backup unit which is actually servicing the queue for the
failed device. Backup device assignments are configured via Printer Assignment (see the Micro-PWC Con-
figuration Guide
).

The Queue Size field displays the number of bytes in all jobs in the device’s print queue, while the Queue
Entries
field indicates the number of jobs in the queue. The Current Item Size indicates the size, in bytes,
of the job which is currently active. The % Printed field indicates what portion of the currently active job has
been completed.
