Tandem Queue

05/11/2025

The Tandem queue is a special queue which works similarly to the Direct queue; jobs sent to this queue are automatically printed without any authentication.

One of the differences is that multiple printers can be assigned to this queue. When a print job is sent to this queue, MyQ checks the counters and availability of the assigned devices and sends the job on the device with the lowest counters, if it's currently available. If the device is currently busy or unavailable, the print jobs are sent to the next device with the lowest counters etc.
