Micromod Micro-PWC: 53PW6000 MicroPWC Configuration Guide - Manual (Page 283)

Micro-PWC CONFIGURATION GUIDE
System Status Display 263
In addition to button color, the Device Status field to the right of each Device Name button provides status
indication in text form, i.e., it will display the word Normal, Failed or Suspended.
When the Device Name button is clicked, the Printer Queue Control window ( Figure 8-6 ) will be displayed.
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 cancelled.
The next portion of the window is labelled Control, and also contains two buttons:
• Suspend
• Normal
Click Suspend to suspend operation of the device (Suspend mode). When this action is performed, pro-
cessing 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.
8.3.1.2 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 (Section 2.8.3) .
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,
✎ Note
When the button color changes to indicate the device status, the
text on the button also changes color so that it remains visible. The
text color has no other significance.
