3. Sample Print/Locked Print

Sample Print

Use this function to print only the first set of a multiple-set print job. After you have checked the result, remain- ing sets can be printed or cancelled using the machine's control panel. This can help in avoiding large amounts of misprints due to mistakes in the content or in the print settings.

Note

If the application has a collate op- tion, make sure that it is not select- ed before sending a print job. By default, sample print jobs are auto- matically collated by the printer driver. If a collate option is select- ed from the application print dia- log box, more prints than intended may be printed.

You can identify the file you want to print by the user ID and date and time when the job was stored.

The number of pages the machine can save depends on the contents of the print image. For example, the machine can save up to 30 jobs or 1,000 pages, including locked print files, depending on data vol- ume.

If the first set of the sample print files is not as you expected and you do not want to print remaining sets, delete the sample print file us- ing the display panel. If you print the remaining sets of the sample print file, the job in the machine is deleted automatically.
