Waiting Jobs

This screen lists print jobs that were sent to Sentinel but have not yet been printed.

The information displayed here depends on the level of permission you have. If you are defined as an administrator of the system, you can see everyone’s print jobs. Non-administrators can only see their own jobs.

Each print job shows the job ID number, the print job name, the user who sent it, the printer it was sent to, the type of job it is (B/W, color, etc.), the current job status, the number of pages and copies, and the time it was spooled.

The available job statuses (shown in the Status column) are explained in the table.

Status	Explanation
Wait	The print job is waiting for a user to release it.
Held	The print job is held in the queue and will not be released, even when the Delete unprinted jobs after time period expires (defined for the user).
Resume	The job was held temporarily and is now waiting for the user to release it.

You can control the displayed print jobs. Select one or more jobs and click the relevant button.

Status	Explanation
Release Now	Releases selected print jobs to the printer immediately. Useful if there is a very large print job that was sent and the user doesn’t want to wait by the printer. This option is not available if Allow Web Release is not selected in your user definitions.
Resume	Stops the hold.
Hold	Holds the print job and does not release it.
Delete	Deletes the print job.
Change	Changes the destination printer to a different printer than the one to which the print job was sent. Select a printer and click Change. Since this action is performed automatically when identifying with an ID card at a different device than the one to which the print job was sent, this option is only useful when planning to release a print job with Release Now to a different printer.
