Understanding the print settings

Notes:

• Some settings may not be available in some printer models or print management servers.
• For LPM On-Premises, the policy set by your administrator may change the print settings. For more information on policies, see the Lexmark Print Management On-Premises Administrator’s Guide.

When sending print jobs, configure one or more of the following:

• Paper—Select the paper source.

• Copies—Specify the number of copies.

• Two-sided—Print on both sides of the paper.

  • Short edge—Flip the document on its short edge.

  • Long edge—Flip the document on its long edge.

  • Off—Disable two-sided printing.

  • Use printer default—Use the printer default setting. This option is available only in Lexmark Cloud Services print queues.

• More settings

  • Color—Print in color or black and white.

  • Orientation—Change the document orientation to either portrait or landscape.

  • Pages per side—Print multiple pages on one side of the paper.

  • Pages to Print—Select the pages to print. This setting is available only when printing PDF documents.

  • Send as a Held Job—Store the print job in the printer memory for printing later.

    Notes:

    • If you are logged in to Cloud Print Management, then your Cloud Print Management user name is used when sending a held job.
    • To configure the printer to show held jobs, see Configuring the printer to show held jobs.
    • The Send as a Held Job setting appears only when the selected device is a printer.

    • To disable the Send as a Held Job setting, select Off.

      Notes:

      • The default setting is Off.
      • Disabling this setting clears the held job credentials.

    • To print and review the first copy of a multiple-copy print job, select Verify, and then type your user name. This option holds the remaining copies until they are released for printing or canceled.

    • To store a print job in the printer memory for printing later, select Reserve, and then type your user name.

    • To print the job immediately and store a copy in the printer memory, select Repeat, and then type your user name.

    • To secure your print job with a PIN, select Confidential, and then type your user name and PIN.

  • Staple—Staple the printed document.

  • Hole Punch—Punch holes on the printed document.

  • Output bin—Select an output bin.

  Notes:

  • The Staple, Hole Punch, and “Output bin” settings appear only when the associated hardware options are installed in the selected printer.
  • You can change only one of the Staple, Hole Punch, and "Output bin" settings at a time. For example, if you change the Staple setting, then the Hole Punch and "Output bin" settings use their default values.
