Managing the print queue
You can always check the status of the print jobs.
" Keep in mind that one print job can hold several films to be printed. In
accordance with the acquisition modality used and with the actual
settings, films can be grouped in a folder to be submitted as one print job
for the Drystar 5300. Refer to the User manual of the acquisition modality
for more information.
Checking the print queue
If jobs have been transmitted from the network to the Drystar 5300, they are
put in the print queue on a first in, first out schedule. New jobs that are added
to the queue get the ‘waiting’ status.
As soon as the last film of a job is ejected in the output tray, the next job that
has been calculated will be put in printing status.
Example of the print queue screen:
The first line shows information on the job that is currently being printed: the
modality name, the time of receipt of the job and the job status (refer to the table
below).
The second line shows how many films are to be printed for the current job and
also which film from that total is currently being printed.
The progress indicator keeps the user informed of the progress of a process
(e.g., calculation of a bitmap, printing of a film). The line is gradually filled from
left to right, from 0% to 100% as the process proceeds.
The last line (reachable by using the down arrow key) displays the number (xx)
of print jobs that are in the Waiting (WA) status. These jobs have been loaded
into the print queue and they are waiting to be printed.
