Using the job-storage features

CAUTION

Note

Four special job-storage features are available for this printer. All four are available when a hard disk is installed. Private jobs and proof and hold jobs are available in RAM (with no hard disk installed).

Private jobs. When you send a private job to the printer, the job does not print until you enter a PIN at the printer.

Stored jobs. You can download a job such as a personnel form, time sheet, or calendar, to the printer and allow other users to print the job at any time. Stored jobs are copied to the optional hard disk and are not deleted if retention space on the printer becomes limited.

QuickCopy jobs. You can print the requested number of copies of a job and then store a copy of the job on the optional hard disk in the printer. Storing the job allows you to print additional copies of the job later.

Proof and hold jobs. This feature provides a quick and easy way to print and proof one copy of a job and then print the additional copies.

Follow the instructions below to gain access to the job retention features at the computer. Then, see the specific section for the type of job you want to create.

If you turn the printer off, all QuickCopy, Proof and hold, and Private jobs are deleted.

Printing a private job

The private printing feature lets a user specify that a job is not printed until that user releases it using a 4-digit personal identification number (PIN) through the printer control panel. The user specifies the PIN in the driver, and the PIN is sent to the printer as part of the print job.

The private jobs feature uses available printer RAM memory if the printer does not have a hard disk installed. For moderate to heavy use of this feature, HP recommends installing an optional hard disk.

To create private jobs

To specify that a job is private from the driver, select the Private Job option, enter a User Name and Job Name, and type a 4-digit PIN. The job will not print until you enter the PIN at the control panel.
