Printing confidential and other held jobs

Storing print jobs in the printer

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.

Note: Confidential, Verify, Reserve, and Repeat print jobs may be deleted if the printer requires extra memory to process additional held jobs.

Description

Confidential

Confidential lets you hold print jobs in the computer until you enter the PIN from the control panel.

Note: The PIN is set from the computer. It must be four digits, using the numbers 0–9.

Verify

Verify 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.

Reserve

Reserve allows the printer to store print jobs for printing at a later time. The print jobs are held until deleted from the Help Jobs menu.

Repeat

Repeat prints and stores print jobs in the printer memory for reprinting.
