Option What it does Typical use
P — Printing Sends the 7512 output to your default/selected desktop printer. Immediate hardcopies for carriers/warehouse.
E — Emailing Generates the document and emails it to configured recipients. Send copies to partners or internal teams.
S — Saving Generates the file and saves it to the configured output folder (e.g., PDF). Archive or attach to imaging/workflow.
A — Any of the above Lets you pick one or more of Print/Email/Save during the run. When you need multiple delivery methods.
D — Deferred Queues the job to run later (no immediate output). Schedule prints for off‑peak or batch release.

3) Queue Behavior

  • Only files with ready/eligible status appear on the print queue; records with blocking issues are skipped.
  • Batching does not change file content; it only groups output into a single print action.
  • Items remain on the queue until successfully printed or manually removed.
