Section 5: Printer & Cluster Details

Tables 1-3 (in the upper panel) list details about the selected job. The lower
portion of the Selection panel provides a space for each discovered printer
to list its ability to support each of these same settings. A color coding sys-
tem is used to indicate recommended printers. If a printer’s header row is
green, this means the printer is a perfect match for the print job. If the header
row is yellow, the job can print on the printer but not all settings are support-
ed. If the header row is gray, the job cannot be printed on that device.

The first Green header is automatically expanded so you may see all setting
details. Click the minus sign to collapse it. Yellow and gray headers are au-
tomatically collapsed. Click the plus sign to open it and view the setting de-
tails.

Clusters are user-defined groupings of one or more printers that can process
a single job. Cluster header rows use the same color-coding to indicate a
match.

About Printer & Cluster Details

While Printgroove POD Queue can make a recommend, user-preferences or
input may be required to fine-tune these recommends. The Printer & Cluster
Details enables this fine-tuning. By noting these settings, you can select the
best choice (when multiple recommends are given) or note printer status or
configuration settings that, if modified, provide a better printing option for a
selected job. The following features help you determine which printer is best
for the selected job:

Printer Header

The printer header row contains status information about the printer, an icon
to indicate the color support of the printer, the number of jobs processing at
the printer, the time remaining until the printer is free and the Periodic Main-
tenance (PM) count--the number of pages remaining before a PM is required.

Cluster Header

The name of all printers included in the Cluster. See the individual printer
headers for details about each printer in the Cluster.

Matched Settings

The matched settings between the selected print job and a printer can be
viewed by expanding a printer’s header row. If the printer supports the print
job, the Layout, Binding, Punch, Trim or Fold cells are highlighted in the same
color as the header row (green or yellow). Paper Size and Paper Type cells
list the current contents of the printer’s trays. If the exact Paper Size/Type is
available, the cell is highlighted to indicate a match. Paper Level information
is also provided.
