Using Max Speed and Max Yield

The Max Speed and Max Yield settings let you choose between a faster print speed or a higher toner yield. Max Yield is the factory default setting.

• Max Speed—This lets you print in either black or color depending on what is set in the printer driver. The printer prints in color unless Black Only is selected in the printer driver.

• Max Yield—This lets you switch from black to color based on the color content found on each page. Frequent color mode switching can result in slower printing if the content of pages is mixed.

Printing from a flash drive

Notes:

• Before printing an encrypted PDF file, you will be prompted to enter the file password from the printer control panel.
• You cannot print files for which you do not have printing permissions.

1. Insert a flash drive into the USB port.

   

   Notes:

   • A flash drive icon appears on the home screen and in the held jobs icon when a flash drive is installed.
   • If you insert the flash drive when the printer requires attention, such as when a jam has occurred, then the printer ignores the flash drive.
   • If you insert the flash drive while the printer is processing other print jobs, then Busy appears. After these print jobs are processed, you may need to view the held jobs list to print documents from the flash drive.

   Warning—Potential Damage: Do not touch the USB cable, any network adapter, any connector, the memory device, or the printer in the areas shown while actively printing, reading, or writing from the memory device. A loss of data can occur.

   

2. From the printer control panel, touch the document you want to print.

3. Touch the arrows to specify the number of copies for printing, and then touch Print.

   Notes:

   • Do not remove the flash drive from the USB port until the document has finished printing.
   • If you leave the flash drive in the printer after leaving the initial USB menu screen, then you can still print files from the flash drive as held jobs.

   Print job type	Description
   Notes: Confidential, Verify, Reserve, and Repeat print jobs may be deleted if the printer requires extra memory to process additional held jobs. You can set the printer to store print jobs in the printer memory until you start the print job from the printer control panel. All print jobs that can be initiated by the user at the printer are called held jobs.
   Max Invalid PIN	Limits the number of times an invalid PIN can be entered. Note: When the limit is reached, the print jobs for that user name and PIN are deleted.
   Confidential Job Expiration	Lets you hold print jobs in the computer until you enter the PIN from the printer control panel. Note: The PIN is set from the computer. It must be four digits, using the numbers 0–9.
   Repeat Job Expiration	Lets you print and store print jobs in the printer memory for reprinting.
   Verify Job Expiration	Lets you print one copy of a print job while the printer holds the remaining copies. It allows you to examine if the first copy is satisfactory. The print job is automatically deleted from the printer memory once all copies are printed.
