The printer advances the paper as though the print were finished.

Note

A multi-page job or a big file may take longer to stop printing than other

files.

How do I manage the print queue?

This information below applies only if you are using the drivers that came with your
printer or the Embedded Web Server to submit printing jobs.
Your printer can store pages in a queue while it is printing the current page. The
queue may contain pages from more than one job.

Note

If the printer hangs up while printing a job, and the queue facility is

turned on, the partially printed job will appear in the queue as “On hold” when
the printer is next turned on. When you resume the job, it will start printing at
the page at which it was interrupted.

Turning off the queue
If you wish, you can turn off the queue from the Web server (Settings tab > Device
setup
> Queue), or from the front panel: select the

icon and then Queue.

The When To Start Printing options

Note

The When To Start Printing options cannot be used with PostScript jobs.

You can select at what point you want to print a file you have in the queue. From the
Web server, select the Settings tab > Device setup > When to start printing; or,
from the front panel, select the

icon and then When to start printing.

There are three options you can select:

When After Processing is selected, the printer waits until the whole page has
been processed and then it starts to print. This is the slowest setting but offers
the best print quality.

When Immediately is selected, the printer prints the page as it is processed. This
is the quickest setting, but the printer may stop halfway through a print to process
data. This setting is not recommended for complex images with dense color.

When Optimized is selected (this is the default setting), the printer calculates the
best time to begin printing the page. It is usually the best compromise between
the After Processing and Immediately settings.
