Printing Stored Documents

This section explains how to manage and print documents stored in the printer.

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.

Important

  • This feature is available only if the optional hard disk is installed on the printer.

  • Documents will not be stored in the following cases: (Note: Documents that are not stored can be viewed in the error log.)

    • The number of print data stored in the printer has reached 9,000 (It may be fewer depending on the print data).

    • The number of pages in a document exceeds 1,000.

    • The total number of stored pages in the printer and the sent data has reached 9,000 (It may be fewer depending on the print data).

  • 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.

Locked Print

Use this function to maintain privacy when printing confidential documents on the printer over a shared network. Usually, it is possible to print data using the control panel once it is stored in this printer. 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.

Hold Print

Use this function to temporarily hold a file in the printer, 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.

Stored Print

Use this function to store a file in the printer, 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.

Note

  • Even after you turn off the printer, stored documents in the printer remain. However, the [Auto Delete Temporary Print Jobs] or [Auto Delete Stored Print Jobs] settings are applied first. For details about the auto delete settings, see Data Management.
