4 Printing
This section addresses how to set printing workflow. It also 
describes the printing utilities that are available in DocuSP 
software and how to use DocuSP for TIFF orientation, MICR, 
and VIPP printing.
Printing workflow options
The two printing workflow options available are First In/First 
Out (FIFO) and Resource Based Scheduling (RBS).
First In/First out can be set either on a limited scheduling/
printing basis or as the default printing workflow for the site. 
In either case FIFO printing provides the capability to force 
jobs to fault and print in FIFO order without regard to 
available paper stocks and other variables. Typical 
applications include zip sorted work, VI print-for-one, direct 
mail and financial data.
Resource Based Scheduling, which is the initial default 
option, places jobs for which resources are available into the 
print stream first. Jobs that require additional resources, like 
media, are placed in an ineligible state awaiting resource 
availability. Resource Based Scheduling optimizes the 
utilization of the printer.
First In/First Out (FIFO) printing
Workflow is referred to as FIFO when jobs are printed in the 
same order in which they are received. For FIFO printing, the 
Queue must also have the Release status set to Yes.
To set FIFO scheduling, perform the following:
1. Select [Setup] on the main menu.
2. Select [System Preferences].
3. Under Scheduling Mode, click FIFO.
NOTE: See the Online Help for detailed procedures.
