Working with Jobs in the Queue
Importing Jobs
Jobs created on the Client or Remote Module that are saved on a floppy disk, or 
CD can be imported into the Job Queue. These jobs have a .PWJ extension and are 
called parameter files.
ZIP and CD-RW drives cannot be installed on the same computer as the 
PlotWorks Server. Therefore if your .PWJ job exists on a CD-RW or ZIP disk you 
can add it to the Job Queue via another computer, containing a ZIP or CD-RW 
drive, on your network.
To import a job (from a directory, CD, or floppy disk):
1.
If applicable, insert the CD or floppy disk containing the job into the 
appropriate drive.
2.
Click Import Job. The Select Parameter File to Import dialog box displays.
