Standard Printing

Use the following procedure to print documents using the normal printing function with the printer driver.

Important

  • If you are using a Type 2 model with ELP NX installed, all print jobs for which "Normal Print" or "Locked Print" is specified are stored in ELP NX when user authentication is set. After issuing the print command from the printer driver, log in to ELP NX and print the job.

  • If you are using a Type 2 model with ELP NX installed, all print jobs for which "Locked Print" is specified are stored in ELP NX when user authentication is not set. Also note that any jobs for which "Locked Print" is not specified will be deleted according to the default setting of ELP NX.

  • For details about how to print using ELP NX, see Enhanced Locked Print NX User's Guide.

  • For details about the option settings of ELP NX, consult your administrator.

  • Before printing, make sure that the settings for the installed options and loaded paper are correctly configured.
