Each row represents the data of one job.
-
The color of the button in front of the job indicates the job status.
Blue = no current processing; the job was either finished or is waiting in the list for further processing.
Green = processing of the job; the job is being printed or ripped.
Yellow = the job was set on hold and is in the paused status. The reason is either a manual hold using the Hold the job function or the Hold jobs before printing option in case the job was restarted. Use the Print this job function in the job details to start the job.
Red = the job is aborted; the job was manually aborted via a software command, an error occurred or a drive was stopped because it ran out of hard disk space. In all cases, these jobs have to be restarted manually after the problem is solved.
-
The status comprises detailed information on the job status, i.e. the process currently running or the one most recently finished.
A list and an explanation of the job states can be found under Tell me about the job states.
-
The name of the job indicates the name of the printed document. By using the same name for job and document, you can easily refer to the original document. Additionally, all jobs include a job ID in order to be able to distinguish between jobs of the same name (e.g. restarted jobs).
Note: When you are running Jobstream on a client computer, you can add the job name to the document name or change it (also refer to How do I change the print title (job name)). The job number is incremented with each job, even if jobs are deleted in between; i.e. each system assigns a job number only once.
-
In the remaining columns, you find job information on the data volume, the time job processing was started, run and pages per run, etc.
Note: Some applications proceed differently to process the information on the number of copies and on the page number. As a result, the settings displayed in the HP Designjet 50ps PrintManager may be incorrect. The number of copies is 1, and the value under Pages gives the total number of pages of the print job. Example: When 2 copies of 3 pages each are set in the application, this turns into 1 copy and 6 pages in the HP Designjet 50ps PrintManager.
These details are displayed when you click the button in front of the job name. Here you can stop, delete or restart a job as appropriate.
If a job was aborted with an error, the details provide more information on the reasons.
The job details also contain all print settings, the so-called job ticket. Generally these settings correspond to those assigned to the virtual printer or hot folder where the print job is printed. All these settings can also be adapted to the individual job. For detailed information on the settings, please refer to:
