Filters

The Output Console has multiple filter and sorting options, which we cover in this section. Each tab, Print Jobs, Batch Jobs, and Printers, supports the same tree structure and column sorting capabilities. The Batch Jobs tab does not support Status filters, and the Status filter options on the Print Jobs and Printers tabs differ slightly.

Tree Structure

The left-side panel includes a mirror of your tree structure. Selecting a folder shows all printers and print jobs for the printers in the folder and subfolders. Selecting a printer object shows the print jobs for that printer.
