3Com 860 manual Secure prints, proof prints, and saved prints, Windows 2000 / Windows NT driver

Advanced Features

Secure prints, proof prints, and saved prints

You can choose one of the following special job types:

■Secure Print: Print a confidential document; the password-protected job is stored on the printer’s hard disk drive. The job prints only after you enter the password on the printer's front panel.

■Proof Print: Print only one copy of the job so you can proof the copy. If you want to print the remaining copies, select the job name on the printer's front panel.

■Saved Print: Store the job on the hard disk so you can print it on demand. The job isn't deleted after printing.

Note

The printer must have a hard disk installed (and the DP Feature Set) to do secure prints, proof prints, and saved prints. These jobs are stored on the hard drive and remain in the printer even when it is powered off.
