. To preview the job, click the icon in the Preview column.
NOTE: The printer can store up to 64 pages for preview. If the job that you selected for preview
contains more than 64 pages, the job will be canceled and purged without notification when the
printer starts to process the sixty-fifth page. If you want to preview a job that has more than 64
pages, click the Continue button before the printer starts to process the sixty-fifth page. Because
the preview image is ready as soon as the first page is processed, you should have enough time
to check the preview image.
Use a driver
You cannot actually preview a print in the printer drivers. However, selecting the preview option in the
driver opens the Embedded Web Server. You then see the image in the Embedded Web Server preview
window.
● To select the preview option in the Windows HP/GL-2 or PS drivers, go to the Printing
shortcuts tab and select the Show preview before printing check box.
● To select the preview option in the Mac OS driver, go to the Finishing panel and select the Show
print preview check box.
● You can also use your software program's print preview option.

NOTE: Be aware that when you submit more than one job at a time by clicking the Add files
button in the Embedded Web Server, all of the jobs that you submit will adopt the settings of the
final job that you submit. However, none of the jobs in the print queue are affected.
