The printer is available either one hour earlier or later, even though the available time for the printer is configured properly in Print Manager. For example, if you set the available time of the printer from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM, the printer is available at 11:00 AM or 3:00 PM.

In addition, when you use the NET PRINT command, the following status information appears:

Queue held until <time>


The <time> stamp is either one hour before or after the available time configured in Print Manager.
