By default, the access to the job queue is open to all users. An administrator can set a password so that users are required to enter a password for:

The job queue page shows all jobs that are available in the printer job queue. It includes jobs that are being received, parsed, rendered, printed, and already printed.

●Copies: Number of copies printed.
●Date: Date and time the printer received the job.

Jobs in the queue can be sorted by any of the information items (except Preview) by clicking on the title of the corresponding column. You can perform the following operations on one or all jobs in the queue:

●Hold: Holds the select jobs until you click Continue to print.
●Continue: All selected jobs, which are on hold, continue printing.
●Reprint: Prints more copies of a job. Type the number of copies (default 1, maximum 99) and click Print.
