Operating the printer
3-16 October 1997
Scheduling jobs
The number of jobs that can be queued to the printer at once depends
on the memory available in the printer. If large files are sent, fewer jobs
can be processed. Installing additional memory in the printer increases
the number of jobs that can be processed at a time.
If the printer is networked, the network configuration affects job
scheduling. When on a network, the printer polls the ports in a round
robin manner. When it receives a job, it stops polling until the job is
complete. Then the printer looks to the next port in the list.
The position of the ports in the list affects the order in which jobs are
processed. When a job is sent is not the sole determinant of when it will
be processed and printed.
