Status Monitoring
The status tab provided all the pertinent status factors of the device at a glance. However, there is no indicator of likely page yields re- maining based on current coverage patterns.
Job Queue Reporting
The Admin mode in WebImageMonitor includes the option to change the order of jobs and to delete jobs. These functions are not available to desktop users, but can be accessed using the walk up touch screen panel.
Walk up and desktop queue management al- lows multiple jobs to be deleted at once. This allows administrators to quickly remove jobs that have been sent repeatedly.
From the touch screen panel, users can also view the jobs in progress and can view a time of completion. Job lists were divided into copy/ document server and printer. However users could also display the entire job queue as a single list by choosing Job Order, which now displayed the queue with all functions in their processing order.
We were pleased to see that users could select and delete multiple jobs in a single step, a fea- ture that some devices do not offer, instead of forcing administrators to delete surplus jobs one at a time when bottlenecks occur.
