Using sample print

Important

  • You need Mac OS X v10.2 or higher to use this function.

  • The number of pages the printer can save varies depending on the contents of the print images. At most, the printer can save 100 jobs or 9,000 pages for Sample Print, Locked Print, Hold Print and Stored Print.

  • Sample Print files will not appear on the display panel if they have already been executed or deleted using the Web browser before you select [Sample Print] from the control panel.

  • Sample Print files printed or deleted using Web Image Monitor after you select [Sample Print] using the control panel will appear on the display panel. However, an error message will appear if you try to print or delete those Sample Print files.

  • If the application has a collate option, make sure that it is not selected before sending a print job. By default, sample print jobs are automatically collated by the printer driver. If the collate option is selected in the application print dialog box, more prints than intended may be printed.

  • Print jobs are not saved on the hard disk in the following cases. You can check the error log for jobs not saved.

    • When there are 100 Sample Print, Locked Print, Hold Print and Stored Print jobs saved on the hard disk.

    • When the total number of pages saved on the hard disk exceeds 9,000 pages.
