Sending print jobs through e-mail

You can submit jobs through e-mail from a computer or your mobile device. To obtain the print queue server e-mail address, contact your system administrator.

To submit a job, forward or send an e-mail from your corporate e-mail account to the print queue server e-mail address. The e-mail subject is used as the name of the print job. Attach the documents you want to add to your print queue. The supported attachment types are PDF, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, and image files.

When the print job is released, the message body and all attachments associated with the e-mail are printed.

To control the print options, the following values can be entered at the end of the subject:
