Phaser 360


Enabling and disabling job pipelining
The job pipelining utility files offer faster print job throughput for high volume printing environments. When job pipelining is turned on, the printer begins processing a second print job before completely finishing the current print job. Job pipelining is turned on by factory default for the parallel port, and is turned off by factory default for all network ports.


Note: If you enable job pipelining, a mismatch can occur between the job currently printing and a status message displayed for a previous print job. The mismatch occurs when a print job already closed (but not completely printed) develops a problem and reports an error during a subsequent print job.
