Storing a document with Windows

For details about displaying the [Printing Preferences] dialog box, see Displaying the Printing Preferences dialog box in an application.

2In the "Job Type:" list, select a job type.

  • Select [Sample Print] to store the document as a Sample Print file.

  • Select [Locked Print] to store the document as a Locked Print file.

  • Select [Hold Print] to store the document as a Hold Print file.

  • Two options are available when storing a Stored Print file:

    Select [Stored Print] to store the document in the printer and print it later using the control panel.

    Select [Store and Print] to store and print the document at the same time.

3Click [Details...].

4Enter a User ID in the "User ID:" box.

  • When storing a Locked Print file, enter a password in the "Password:" box.

  • When storing a Hold Print file, specify a file name and print time as necessary.

    To specify the time when the document is printed, select the [Set Print Time] check box, and then specify the time.

  • When storing a Stored Print file, specify a file name and password as necessary.

5Click [OK].

6Change any other print settings as necessary.

7Click [OK].

8Start printing from the application's [Print] dialog box.

Note

  • The printer might not print a Hold Print file at the specified time under the following conditions:

    • When the specified print time is close to the time in the printer's built-in clock, printing may start immediately.

    • When the main power of the printer is turned off, printing will not start even if it is the specified print time. To print a document whose specified time has already passed, set [Jobs Not Printed As Machn. Was Off] to [On] on [System] under [Printer Features]. For details, see System.

    • If an error message is displayed on the control panel, printing will not start even if it is the specified print time.

  • If [Stored Print (Shared)] or [Store and Print (Shared)] is selected when a Stored Print file is stored, the user who created the document and all users who have print privileges can print the document using the control panel. This setting is available when User Authentication is enabled using the PCL 6 printer driver. For details, see Security Guide.
