Printer Jobs

The Printer Jobs section gives you a complete overview of every job processed by a printer, status, duration, ink usage, and more, so you can monitor performance and spot production issues early.

  • Search by Title (top-left).
  • Pagination (bottom-left) lets you pick items per page and move through the list.

How Jobs Are Grouped

Jobs are grouped by the print_job_id, a unique number assigned when the job enters the printer queue.

Why print_job_id?

print_job_id is the most reliable way to group jobs, because it reflects what the printer actually produced.
It minimizes the risk of mix-ups when a single reference runs multiple times with different settings.

Three-Level Drill-Down

LevelWhat You SeePurpose
Top LevelHigh-level KPIs aggregated by print_job_id.Quick health check of each job.
Summary LevelKey timestamps, job metrics, and an ink-usage chart for all runs in the group.Investigate overall job performance.
Run LevelA table of every individual run with exact timings and settings, plus a run-specific ink chart.Deep dive into specific production runs.

Aggregated Summary Limitations

In rare cases, jobs with the same print_job_id may run with different settings.
Always open the Run Level view when you need exact details.

Views by Printer Type

Depending on the printer model, the layout and level of detail in the Printer Jobs section may vary.
We provide five available views, each optimized for specific printer technologies:

Substrate Data

The substrate name and size fields are free text inputs in the software.
For reliable analysis and comparison, we recommend establishing naming and sizing conventions.


Default View

The Default View is the standard layout for printers what haven got a categorization yet or not fitting properly in any of the current categories.
