If project accounting is enabled, unassigned print jobs are paused and have to be assigned to a project before they can be printed. They are displayed on the Jobs main tab, under Paused. You can assign them on the Jobs main tab, in the MyQ Desktop Client pop-up window, or on an embedded terminal.
Users who want to print an unassigned job on an embedded terminal have to select one of their projects (projects they have rights to) or eventually select the Without project option there (if they are allowed to print without projects). The same applies to scanning and copying ‒ users have to select one of the projects or the Without project option before opening the particular panel or performing a quick action. The exact behavior of project accounting on embedded terminals can vary depending on vendor and device model. See the particular embedded terminal manual for further information.
Assigning Projects to Print Jobs
This option is available on computers with either Windows or macOS. It requires the MyQ Desktop Client application running on the computer where the print job is sent from.
MyQ Desktop Client is running in the background and, unless Project accounting or any other features of the application are active for the logged user, all print jobs are sent to MyQ without any intervention. Once the user has rights to more than one projects, all the jobs that they send are paused and the MyQ Desktop Client pop-up window opens to offer the available projects to the user. If only one project is available to the user, it is automatically assigned, and the job is sent to the server.
The user can assign the job to an available project and print within that project. If printing without a project is allowed in MyQ, the user can select the No project option; otherwise they have to select one of the available projects. If there are more jobs waiting in the queue, the user can check the ones to be printed to a particular project and jobs for another project can be printed in the next step.
For information about MyQ Desktop Client, including installation, setup, and optional features of the application, see the MyQ Desktop Client for Windows or macOS manuals.
Assigning Projects on the Jobs Main Tab
To assign a project to a print job:
-
On the Paused list on the Jobs main tab, double-click the print job that you want to assign the project to. The print properties panel opens on the right side of the screen.
-
On the panel, select the Project that you want to assign to the job, and then click Save.
