Hold Print

Use this function to temporarily hold a file in the printer, and print it from the computer or the printer's control panel later.

A Hold Print file cannot be stored if:
- the hard disk is not installed in the printer.
- the total number of Sample Print, Locked Print, Hold Print, and Stored Print files in the printer is over 100. (The maximum number varies depending on the volume of data in files.)
- the file contains over 1,000 pages.
- sent or stored files in the printer contain over 9,000 pages in total.

If a Hold Print file has not been stored properly, check the error log in the control panel.
Even after you turn off the printer, stored documents in the printer remain. However, the [Auto Delete Temporary Jobs] or [Auto Delete Stored Jobs] settings are applied first.
If the application has a collate option, make sure it is not selected before sending a print job. By default, Hold Print jobs are automatically collated by the printer driver. If a collate option is selected from the application's Print dialog box, more prints than intended may be produced.
Hold Print files printed or deleted using Web Image Monitor, after you select [Hold 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 Hold Print files.
If stored files have similar and long file names, recognizing the file you want to print on the display panel may be difficult. Print the file you want to print either by checking the user ID or the time the file is sent, or by changing the file name to something that can be recognized easily. If you enter the document name on the printer driver's [Details...], that name appears on the display panel.
It is possible, but not required, to set a file name or a password to a Hold Print file.
