Kodak 8657 , Job Scheduling, Communication Channels

Introduction

1–2 March 1998

Job Scheduling

The number of jobs that can be queued to the printer at

one time is dependent on the available memory in the

printer. If large image ﬁles are sent, fewer jobs can be

processed. Installing optional memory in the printer

increases the number of jobs that can be processed. This

is described in the user’s guide for the Kodak

Professional 8657 thermal printer.

The other factor impacting job scheduling is the printer’s

network conﬁguration. When the printer is connected

through more than one port, the printer polls the ports in

a round-robin method. The position of the ports in the list

impacts the order in which jobs are processed.

Communication Channels

Your computer can print to the 8657 printer through a

SCSI or parallel connection or through an Ethernet

connection if the optional Network Interface Card is

installed in the printer. Refer to the user’s guide for the

Kodak Network Interface Card for more information about

network connectivity.
