5-2 Common Controller
• If FIFO is desired dynamically, all jobs must be submitted
from a single client to a single queue with a release status set
to [Yes]. All other queues must have the release status set to
No.
• If the queue that is set to use FIFO is not currently releasing
jobs to the printer, then the jobs may not appear in the correct
FIFO order. Select [Job Manager] and then select the
Options menu. Select [Redisplay] to view the jobs in correct
FIFO order.
NOTE: Some error conditions within the printer can cause a job
to fault because there is no recovery operation that the operator
can perform. These jobs are dropped out of the sequence,
destroying the original FIFO order. The controller is not designed
to wait for corrective action by an operator for a faulted job
before advancing to the next job which has already been
scheduled and is displaying a ‘Waiting for Printer’ status.
