• Checkboxes: Used to select jobs.

•

Job ID: The number identifier of the job

assigned by the system when the

job is received.

• Job Split Detail: Indicates if a

job is split and by what method

(the type of split) and in what manner (the attributes of the split).

• Job Name: The file name of the submitted

job .

• Status: Shows the current state of the

job .

•

Queue: Indicates the queue

that the job

is assigned.

• Printer/Job ID: Indicates the

printer that the job is assigned,

or the requested printer (indicated by an asterisk). If the job

is split, the parent

job

printer name will be designated as

(Multiple). If the job ID at the printer has been assigned, it will be displayed.

NOTE: If the job is sent to an iGen4 220 Perfecting Press printer, the job id is from the first controller. To display Printer/

Job ID values from both controllers, mouse over the Printer/

Job ID value. A pop-up message will appear displaying 2 printer/job id values.

If the printer is in Pass-through mode, the job will be forwarded only to the active controller and reflected in the Printer/Job ID vallue.

• Printer/Queue Access Group: Indicates the group name that the queue that the job has been submitted to belongs. This column will appear when the administrator is logged on to the system.

• Pages: The total number of pages in the

job is indicated.

• Sender: The logon user name of the person who sent the

job

from the client or host.

• Priority: The priority set on the job either by the queue default or as set by the user. The priority informs the system the order in which the jobs should be processed. A job’s priority setting can be set between 1 (lowest priority) and 100 (highest priority). The default priority setting is 50.
