Printing a Sample Print file

The following procedure describes how to print a Sample Print file with the PostScript 3 printer driver.

Applications with their own drivers, such as PageMaker, do not support this function.

In the application, on the [File] menu, click [Print].
The [Print] dialog box appears.
Select the printer, and then open the [Printing Preferences] dialog box.
In the [Job Type:] list, click [Sample Print].
Click [Details...].
In the [User ID:] box, enter a user ID using up to eight alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) characters.
The user ID associates the user with his / her jobs.
Click [OK].
Click [OK] to close the [Printing Preferences] dialog box.
If the application has a collate option, make sure it is not selected before sending a print job. The printer driver automatically collates Sample Print jobs by default. If the collate option is selected in the application's [Print] dialog box, there may be more prints than required.
Set the number of copies to two or more in the [Copies:] box, and then start the printing from the application's [Print] dialog box.
The sample print job is sent to the machine, and one set is printed.
Check the printed output to make sure the settings are correct.
If the settings are correct, perform the following steps to print the remaining sets.
If you want to delete saved jobs, see "Deleting Sample Print files".
On the machine's control panel, press the [Printer] key to display the printer screen.
Press [Print Jobs].
A list of print files stored in the machine appears.
Press [Sample Print Job List].
A list of Sample Print files stored in the machine appears.
Depending on the security settings, certain print jobs may not be displayed.
Select the file you want to print, and press [Print].
Enter the new number of sets using the number keys if necessary, and then press [Yes].
You can enter up to 999 sets.
Press the [Clear/Stop] key to correct any entry mistakes.
The remaining sets are printed.

If you want to cancel printing, press [No] in step 14.
If you select multiple files, the confirmation screen displays the total number of files to be printed.
If you select multiple documents and do not specify the number of sets on the confirmation screen, one set less than the number specified on the computer is printed for every selected document. If the number of sets specified on the computer is "1", one set each is printed for every document.
When printing accumulated sample print documents, you cannot change the numbers of sets.
When printing is completed, the stored file will be deleted.
To stop printing after printing has started, press [Exit] until the printer screen appears, and then press [Job Reset]. The file will be deleted.
If there is a print job outstanding, this will be printed before the sample print job.
