Change Printer Pool Section

Field

Description

Pool member field: Low page range

The fewest number of pages in a single document that this destination is allowed to process. For example, if set to 100, the destination will only process documents that have 100 pages or more. It will not process documents that have 99 pages or less. This setting is used only for printers that are set up as part of a printer pool.

Pool member field: High page range

The greatest number of pages in a single document that this destination is allowed to process. For example, if set to 100, the destination does not process documents that have 101 pages or more. This setting is used only for printers that are set up as part of a printer pool.

Pool member field: Hold on detach

Whether or not a document that is currently being processed should be put on hold if the destination is detached and is part of a pool. Either yes (put document on hold and do not send to another destination in the pool), or no (the remainder of the document will be processed by the next available  destination in the pool). No yields the fastest processing. This setting is used only for printers that are set up as part of a printer pool.
