Hard Disk

Storage destination

The storage area on the printer’s hard disk is divided into a temporary storage area and a permanent storage area. Print jobs in the “job queue” or “common box” are saved in the temporary storage area. Jobs in “personal boxes” are saved in the permanent storage area.

Job queue

Print jobs in progress(*1) are temporarily saved in the job queue, a storage space where jobs are saved in the order they will be printed.

The queue holds up to ten jobs. Subsequent jobs await the processing to add them to the queue. *1: Jobs that are being saved, received, processed, printed, or deleted, or jobs that have been interrupted or are waiting to print

Common box

If you have selected Print in Output Method (in Windows) or Send job to (in Mac OS X) as the format for print jobs sent from the computer, the jobs are saved in the common box.

There is one common box, numbered “00”. A password cannot be set for the common box.

Up to 100 print jobs can be saved here, but they will be deleted one after another starting with the oldest job in the following situations.

If there are more than 100 jobs in the common box and job queue combined

If there is not enough space in the temporary and permanent storage areas during reception of print jobs for which you have selected Save in mail box in Output Method (in Windows) or Send job to (in Mac OS X)

Personal boxes

You can store jobs in personal boxes in either of the following ways.

There are 29 personal boxes, numbered “01” to “29”. You can specify a name and password for each personal box.
