To manage print jobs submitted from a networked PC.

With the Xerox Nuvera in Pause mode, you can submit print jobs from a client workstation, then retrieve them at the Xerox Nuvera, apply further job programming, and release for final printing. Also, you can send jobs with the Hold option and the job will be held in Job Manager, with no need to pause the printer. For details, see Managing Print Jobs.

Queue Manager on the Production System allows you submit jobs to a Print, Save or Hold queue.

Using Hot Folders

Hot Folders allow you to drop and drag print jobs from your networked PC into a Hot Folder. The Hot Folder places the job in a queue on a Xerox Nuvera System. Once the job is submitted to the queue the job is automatically deleted from the Hot Folder.

Hot Folders are activated in Queue Manager. For information on Queue Manager see Working with Queues.
