A job may be deleted from the job list before or after it is cut or printed.

Printing Directly from an Application

Once you have specified setup properties, you can print directly from your application without adjusting any values from the Print Monitor menus.

Most applications have Page setup and Print Command options within the File Menu. Make sure you select the correct printer setup that you have installed. Please consult your DTP application for more details on the print command.

Printing from a Client on your Network

If you have a network of PCs and have completed the additional setup instructions for network printing, you can print from any client on your network. When you do this, jobs arrive in the ‘Hot’ folder of the server and are processed like any other job.

There are two ways to send jobs to the server for processing:

ƒDragging the file directly into the server’s shared ‘Hot’ folder

OR

ƒUsing the design application’s Print to File function and selecting the server’s ‘Hot’ folder as your destination
