This screen displays all the jobs that were printed in the system within the defined period of time (defined in the first three settings in Settings à Document). It does not show system events.
The information displayed here depends on the level of permission you have. Administrators can see everyone’s print jobs. Non-administrators can only see their own jobs.
You can use the search options to narrow the display to only print jobs answering specific criteria.
Each print job shows the job ID number, the print job name, the name of the user who sent it, the printer it was sent to, the type of printing (B/W, color, etc.), the current job status, the number of pages and copies, and the time it was spooled.
The available job status options are explained in the table.
