Apple 12/600PS manual Setting up job handling, Printer’s Ethernet address appears

4Use the list box to choose a default paper size for the multipurpose tray.

If you turn on the automatic tray switching feature, the printer draws paper from any paper source that holds the correct size paper. However, the printer can’t tell what size paper is in the multipurpose tray, so you must tell it. If the paper size for the multipurpose tray is the same as the paper in the standard paper cassette (and automatic tray switching is turned on), the printer automatically uses the multipurpose tray as a paper source.

Setting up job handling

You can set job handling for individual network protocols that you use. If you need to stop the printer in the middle of printing a document, you can use this feature to make sure the printer finishes the job before closing the connection.

1Open the Job Defaults category.

You see a list of preferences.

2Open the Job Handling Configuration category.

3In the panel that appears, click the checkboxes next to network types to specify when the connection with the computer should be broken.

With this feature on, the printer keeps the connection open until the last page of a job has printed. That way, if a problem develops at the end of the print job, the printer can send error messages to alert users to the problem. Turning the feature on does make the total print time for the job somewhat longer. Also, jobs are not overlapped; that is, multiple jobs are printed serially.

4To send the settings to the printer, click Send.
