Other Print Operations

Sample Print

Use this function to print only the first set of a multiple-set print job. After you have checked the result, remaining sets can be printed or canceled using the machine's control panel. This can reduce misprints due to mistakes in content or settings.

Note

❒If the application has a collate op- tion, make sure it is not selected

 

before sending a print job. By de-

4

fault, sample print jobs are auto-

 

 

matically collated by the printer

 

driver. If a collate option is select-

 

ed from the application's [Print] di-

 

alog box, more pr ints than

 

intended may be produced.

❒You can identify the file you want to print by 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 volume.

❒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.

❒Turning off the machine's main power switch deletes sample print files.
