Mackie V7.0 manual Extended options, States of print jobs

Using Xprint V7.0 options Producing Output with Xprint V7.0

The -waoption (wait activation) allows you to assign the status SCHEDULED to the print job. This means that the print job is added to the print queue and moves in it according to its priority. When it comes to the top position, the printer to which the job is assigned is no longer available for other jobs. Only when the print job is explicitly assigned the status ACTIVE (xpchange -job, option -st ACTIVE), is printing started. When the print job is completed, the printer is released for use by other print jobs again.

Extended options

The –exflag has been introduced to extend the set of pre-defined object attributes in a flexible way.

The purpose of this option is twofold:

●adapt product behavior via predefined variables.

●collect and store any interesting information for the user or the administrator in a structured way.

Example:

–the room number where the printer is located

–the page cost of a printer
