Sending a print file with Windows

After creating a document, open the [Printing Preferences] dialog box in the document's native application.

Configure the following settings:

Job Type:
Select a job type.
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.

Click [Details...], and then configure the following settings:

User ID:
Enter a User ID.
Password:
When storing a Locked Print file, enter a password.
When storing a Stored Print file, specify a password as necessary.
File Name
When storing a Hold Print or Stored Print file, specify a file name as necessary.
Set Print Time
When storing a Hold Print file, specify the time to start printing as necessary.

Click [OK].

Change any other print settings as necessary.

Click [OK].

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

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, the printer driver's Help.
Even if you specify the time to print a Hold Print file in [Set Print Time], the printer does not print the file at the specified time, but performs as follows:
- 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 when the specified print time arrives. To print a document whose print time has been specified and the time has already passed, set [Jobs Not Printed As Machn. Was Off] to [On] in [System] under [Printer Features]. For details, see System (SP C342DN).
- If an error message is displayed on the control panel, printing will not start even if the specified print time arrives.
