Purge Device Queue (ttaad3221m000)

Use this session to remove requests from the device queue.

You must purge the device queue regularly, because its contents increases continuously: each print request generates a new record in the printer queue table.

When a print job is finished, the print request status changes to Done. When the delete-delay time has passed, the temporary print file is removed automatically and the request status is changed to Removed. However, the request is not deleted from the printer queue table.

The only way to remove records from the printer queue table, is to purge the device queue through this session.

Note: 

You cannot purge requests with the status Waiting, Active, or Being converted, though they can be canceled in one of the two following sessions:

  • Cancel Device Requests by User (ttaad3220m000)
  • Cancel Device Requests by Device (ttaad3230m000)
