Storing Documents in the Hard Disk Drive and Printing Them
You can store a document on the hard disk of the printer by printing the document using the printer driver. It can be printed or deleted from the control panel later.
Documents will not be stored in the following cases. Documents that are not stored can be viewed in the error log.
The total number of documents stored in the machine has reached a certain volume (It may be fewer depending on the print data).
The number of pages of one file exceeds a certain number of pages.
The total number of pages of the documents that have been sent and are stored in the machine exceeds a certain number of pages (It may be fewer depending on the print data).
For details about the certain number or volume, see User Guide of your device.
Applications with their own drivers, such as PageMaker, do not support this function.
The following print functions can be used with this function:
Sample Print
Use this function to print only the first set of a multiple-set print job. After you have checked the result, remaining sets can be printed or canceled using the control panel. This can reduce misprints due to mistakes in contents or settings. For details about printing methods, see Sample Print.
Locked Print
Use this function to maintain privacy when printing confidential documents on the machine over a shared network. Usually, it is possible to print data using the control panel once it is stored in this machine. When using Locked Print, it is not possible to print unless a password is entered on the control panel. Your confidential documents will be safe from being viewed by other people. For details about printing methods, see Locked Print.
Hold Print
Use this function to temporarily hold a file in the machine, and print it later. It is useful when combining and printing multiple documents. You can also specify the print time of a document. The document is automatically printed at the specified time. For details about printing methods, see Printing a Hold Print file using the control panel.
Stored Print
Use this function to store a file in the machine, and then print it later when necessary. The documents will not be deleted even after the printing has been completed. It is useful when printing the same document repeatedly. For details about printing methods, see Stored Print.
Even after you turn off the machine, stored documents in the machine remain. However, the [Auto Delete Temporary Print Jobs] or [Auto Delete Stored Print Jobs] settings are applied first.
