Device Spooling

Device Spooling is a feature that saves your print jobs directly onto the device's hard drive.

This gives you the freedom to release your documents at any time, even if the computer you printed from is turned off, asleep, or disconnected from the network. It's the most reliable way to print from a PC, and because the job is stored locally, the release is instant.

Device Spooling can be used via two ports:

• 10011: Port for secured hold print. The job is spooled by the printer and waits there until the user logs in and prints it. It is not possible to print this job on any other than this particular printing device.

• 10012: Port for Device Spooling pull print. The job is spooled by the printing device. Once the user logs on any of the devices connected to the same subnet, information about this job is provided and the job is displayed in the list of the available jobs and can be printed.

All jobs are stored on the device’s HDD. If port 10012 is used jobs sent to one printing device can be printed on any other printing device connected to the same local area network. If there are more mutually connected devices at the branch, the jobs spooled on the devices can be shared between them. In such cases, jobs sent to one device are displayed on the list of print jobs and can be printed on other devices.
Once the user logs on any of the devices connected to the same subnet, information about this job is provided and the job is displayed in the list of the available jobs and can be printed.
