Promote and interrupt jobs in the queue
When the device is processing multiple jobs, in most cases it prioritizes them according to the order in which it receives them. However, some types of jobs automatically take priority over others. You can also promote a job in the queue so it is processed as soon as possible, or you can interrupt a job that is in progress so a new job is processed immediately.
Job priorities
The device prioritizes jobs in the following order, with the highest priority listed first:
1.Any job that you have specifically promoted in one of the following ways:
◦By using the Promote option in the Job Status feature on the device control panel.
◦By pressing the Interrupt button on the device control panel.
Promoting a job by using either of these methods causes the current job to be interrupted immediately. See Job interruption on page 53.
2.Jobs that are started at the device:
◦copy jobs
◦
◦print internal pages
Starting any of these jobs causes the current job to be interrupted immediately. See Job interruption on page 53.
3.Jobs that are sent from a computer and incoming faxes. These jobs do not interrupt current jobs. If someone is currently using the device control panel, these jobs are held until that person is finished. However, the administrator can configure the Hold Off Print Job setting to Off to prevent these jobs from being held off by user activity at the device control panel.
