The Device Track window contains two panes with the following elements:


Devices pane

This pane displays all the connected  digital devices and  CTP devices and the number of jobs (jobs, files, pages, layouts, separations) that have been submitted to each device (the number of jobs in the In Process queue of each device).

The Devices pane also contains the No Target Press list, which lists jobs that have not been assigned to a digital device yet (these jobs are in the NotTargeted status), and jobs that have been assigned to a digital device but have not been sent to print yet (these jobs are in the ReadyToPrint status). The No Target Press list is useful for balancing the load across devices. For example, if you assign a job to the No Target Press list, the job will appear in the No Target Press list and can be assigned to a device later based on load balancing requirements. Jobs on the No Target Press list which have been assigned to a digital device but have not been sent to print yet (jobs in the ReadyToPrint status) will not appear on the device queue until you submit them.

    When you hover over the right side of the device box, a tool tip displays the status, default speed, and default capacity of the device.


Queues pane

On the right side of the Devices list, the following queues are displayed:

Each queue displays the number of jobs it contains, 



Ink status 

Located on the top-right corner of the queues pane, this set of icons indicates the status of ink level for C, M, Y, K and spot color inks (denoted by Sx, such as S1, S2, and so on; the actual ink name is displayed in a tool tip), depending on the number of colors the selected device supports. Green indicates full ink level, yellow indicates low ink level, and red indicates no ink.


Tray/Substrates status 

Located on the left side of the Ink status icons, click this icon to open the Substrates/Tray list of the selected device. This list displays the name of the tray, the dimensions of the loaded media/substrate and its type. On the left side of the tray name, there is an indicator of the media level showing whether the tray is full, low or empty. This information is read-only. If any of the trays is in low or empty status, the green dot in the Tray/Substrates status icon in the main Device Track window changes to yellow (for low) or red (for empty).


Capacity meter

The capacity meter indicates how busy the device is based on a calculation of its maximum capacity compared to its current processes. For more information, see About the capacity meter.
