How to Use the Direct Print Function
Printing Directly from the Remote UI
You can print PDF files or Image files (TIFF/JPEG) directly from the Remote UI, without having to open the files. For more information on the basic operations of the Remote UI, see the Remote UI Guide. To print a PDF file directly from the Remote UI, follow the instructions below.
NOTE
•The Direct Print function is only available for the PS Printer.
•Even in cases where you cannot print a file or if the print output is out of alignment using the Direct Print function, you may still be able to open the file in an application and print it using the printer driver.
