Device Queue (ttaad3120s000)

Use this session to maintain the printer-queue data.

The output requests for all devices are kept in a queue, except when the Device Type is Direct.

When a print job is finished, the print request status changes to Done. When the delete-delay time has passed, the temporary file in ${BSE_TMP} is removed by the printer daemon. Although the request status is changed to Removed, the request is not deleted from the printer queue table. However, a print request with the Removed status cannot be displayed or reprinted.

The printer-queue data consists of two parts divided over two tabs. The General tab shows who made the request, the contents of the request, and the selected device. The Details/status tab shows print details, such as the print date/time, the paper type, and the print request’s status.

For more information on print job statuses, refer to Print-Request Status.

Depending on the status, you can change the information in the second part of the printer-queue data.

  • If the status is Error, you can change the paper type and set the status to Waiting or Active to repeat the request.
  • If the status is Waiting, Active, or Done, you can change the status to Preserved.
Note

You cannot use this session to delete requests from the printer queue. To do this, you must use the Purge Device Queue (ttaad3221m000) session.
