TheȱJobȱManagerȱscreenȱisȱdividedȱintoȱpanels:

• JobsȱQueue

• PrintingȱProgress

• History

• AvailableȱResources

• MaterialȱConsumption

• TrayȱPreview

• Waste

If Objet Studio is not connected to a printer (or printer server), you can

prepare tray files for any Objet printer. Later, these files can be used by

Objet Studio on the appropriate printer server.
