Receiving job status feedback
Client workstations display fault messages and other information, such as the status of feeder trays and output bins. If properly configured, the workstations may be able to display job status, as described in the following list.
•
•
To determine the status of jobs submitted using the lpr command, you must issue an lpq command at the command line. With some UNIX systems jobs can be submitted using the lp command and status can be determined using the lpstat command. Some application software packages may provide a simplified means of obtaining job status, perhaps using icons. Job status is also available by establishing a telnet connection to the Printer Controller to access the user interface from your workstation. Printer and additional status information is also available. See “Using remote access” in the Guide to Configuring and Managing the System for more information.
The job status command (lpq) is available at client workstations unless your TCP/IP network communications utilities do not support it.
Xerox Client Software provides commands for listing the status of the job (listjob) and for listing the queue (listq). These commands are available for jobs submitted using Xerox Client Software.
• AppleTalk provides job status information at the client workstation through the print monitor function. Workstation users can also determine the status of a queue.
