Using Printer Hard Disk

The printer can save print jobs on the built-in hard disk.

Saving print jobs offers the following benefits.

Save the time spent using a computer

When you send a print job to the printer, you can save it on the printer after printing or simply save it on
the printer without printing it yet. Saved print jobs can be printed in the required quantity later without the
need to use a computer again.

Simplify reprinting, if any errors occur

If errors occur in the middle of printing (as when paper runs out), you can resume printing after clearing
the error without resending the print job from a computer.

Streamline printing work

Without using a computer, you can select print jobs and print in the desired quantity. You can also
select multiple print jobs to print during the same period. This enables unattended operation at night, for
example.

Output Method

To save print jobs on the printer's hard disk, configure the printer driver.

In Windows, this is set using the

Output Method

dialog box.

In macOS, this is set by selecting

Additional Settings

in the pop-up menu of the printer properties dialog.

Print

Perform printing while saving the print job on the temporary storage area of the printer's hard disk.

Set PIN for printing

Set a 7 digit security code. To start printing, enter the PIN set here using the operation panel. If the
entered PIN does not match the set PIN, the printing does not start.

Print after reception is complete

This option is available in combination with

Print

. You can prevent degradation of print quality that

occurs when receiving a print job is interrupted and printing is aborted in the middle.

Save in Job Box

Save print jobs on the permanent storage area of the printer's hard disk. Selecting this does not start
printing.

Storage Destination

The storage area on the printer's hard disk is divided into a temporary storage area and a permanent
storage area. The temporary storage area stores print jobs in the job queue or common job box. The
permanent storage area stores jobs in personal job boxes.
