Printing confidential and other held jobs

Holding jobs in the printer

When sending a job to the printer, you can specify that you want the printer to hold the job in memory until you start the job from the printer control panel. All print jobs that can be initiated by the user at the printer are called held jobs.

Note: Confidential, Verify, Reserve, and Repeat print jobs may be deleted if the printer requires extra memory to process additional held jobs.

Description

 

 

Confidential

When you send a Confidential print job to the printer, you must create a PIN from

 

 

 

the computer. The PIN must be four digits using the numbers 0–9. The job is held

 

 

 

in printer memory until you enter the PIN from the printer control panel and

 

 

 

choose to print or delete the job.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Verify

When you send a Verify print job, the printer prints one copy and holds the

 

 

 

remaining copies in printer memory. Verify lets you examine the first copy to see

 

 

 

if it is satisfactory before printing the remaining copies. Once all copies are

 

 

 

printed, the job is automatically deleted from printer memory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reserve

When you send a Reserve print job, the printer does not print the job immediately.

 

 

 

It stores the job in memory so you can print the job later. The job is held in memory

 

 

 

until you delete it from the Held Jobs menu.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Repeat

When you send a Repeat print job, the printer prints all requested copies of the

 

 

job and stores the job in memory so you can print additional copies later. You

 

 

can print additional copies as long as the job remains stored in memory.

 

 

 

 

Other types of held jobs include:

•Profiles from various sources

•Forms from a kiosk

•Bookmarks

•Jobs not printed, which are called parked jobs
