Actions available for print jobs

Printing actions

Start

Available when the printer is idle and the build tray is clear (if the feature is enabled)

Pause, Resume

Pause – it is not recommended to pause a print job when it is not necessary, because it can cause print defects.

After the job is paused you can resume it.

Cancel

You can cancel the job and after that, you're prompted with the cancellation reason.

The Organizational admin can export the report for all the cancellation reasons.

Move/Copy

Move – carries the job over to another 3D Printer without duplicating it.

Copy – Creates a print job duplicate. If the billing logic is enabled the new job owner is charged for it.

Restart

Available only for finished, canceled, or failed jobs.

You can select the printer to restart the print job on.

Error

If your print job was failed you can stop it with the Error status – the job status will become Failed. Hence, you'll have the correct data in History and Statistics.

Industrial 3D Printer actions

The industrial 3D Printers are not connected directly to the cloud, though you can use the cloud to manage them.

Industrial printers have the same features as directly driven 3D Printers and a few other things.

Finish

Use ''Finish'' to mark a job as successfully finished in your statistics. The system will calculate Printing time as the difference between start and finish.

Download

You can Download jobs from Industrial printers' queues in order to upload them manually.

When submitting a job, the user can write notes attached to it.

Other users with can_print permissions may review those notes on the Printers Page and leave their own.

If there were not attached notes, you can add new ones from the three dot menu.

And enter it in the Job Notes pop-up.

Feedback

In the dropdown selection, the user may select Feedback. It can be exported as a separate data point in the reports, by the Organization Admin.

In some cases, notes are created automatically.
