‹ Job
The original data sent from the computer is not directly sent to the printer but temporarily stored in the print con-
troller. The data in this status is called a “job”.
‹ Queue
The jobs stored in the print controller are lined up in a “window” for executing print processing. Various settings on
how to process the sent jobs can be registered in this “window” in advance. This “window” is called a “queue”.
‹ Log in
To create your own jobs, a login ID and password are required. The act of inputting such information in order to
access network and device is called “login”.

Queues
There are two types of queues - Normal and Hold. Two types of queues - “Normal” and “Hold” - are prepared for the
print controller in advance. An arbitrary queue can be added by the administrator (Custom Queue).

‹ Normal queue:
This queue is for actually printing or storing jobs as archive jobs. The jobs sent to this queue from the computer
are processed in chronological order.
‹ Hold queue:
This queue is for storing jobs. The jobs sent to this queue from the computer are stored in the print controller. To
process jobs stored in the Hold queue, give commands such as printing a job, using the RISO Console.
Storing original data that are frequently used or shared documents in the Hold queue enables to print them without
opening the application and giving the command to print for every job from the RISO Console screen.

Important!:
• We can take no responsibility for data loss occurring in this product’s internal hard disk that results from use of this
