Understanding job
priorities
The all-in-one can process jobs in different modes at the same time. For
example, it can be processing a copy job at the same time that it is
scanning an original for a fax job.
Reports that the all-in-one produces (such as automatic fax reports)
take priority over other jobs that you start at the control panel.
Jobs that you start at the control panel take priority over jobs submitted
from a computer on the network. However, a currently printing job must
finish before any new printing job can begin.
After you exit a mode and return the all-in-one to the ready state, an
asterisk (*) appears beside
READY
on the control panel display for a
short time. During this time, the all-in-one is reserved for walk-up use.
Any print jobs sent during this time print only after the asterisk
disappears.
If a computer is writing onto a memory card, all photo operations are
blocked until the computer job has finished.
Jobs submitted from the computer using a TWAIN-compliant or
WIA-compliant program take priority over jobs started at the control
panel.
Understanding the
interaction of jobs
with other jobs
Jobs that involve only scanning can take place at the same time as
printing jobs. (Scanning jobs and printing jobs use different parts of the
all-in-one.)
Some jobs scan originals into memory first (such as copy jobs and
non-realtime fax jobs). When the scanning part of the job has finished,
the all-in-one is free to accept a new job.
