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.
