Hold Print

Use this function to temporarily hold a file in the machine, and print it from the computer or the machine's control panel later.

Important

A Hold Print file cannot be stored if:

the total number of Sample Print, Locked Print, Hold Print, and Stored Print files in the machine is over 100. (The maximum number varies de- pending on the volume of data in files.)

• the file contains over 1,000 pages.

• sent or stored files in the machine contain over 9,000 pages in total.

Note

If a Hold Print file has not been stored properly, check the error log on the dis- play panel.

Even after you turn off the machine, stored documents in the machine re- main. However, the [Auto Delete Temporary Print Jobs] or [Auto Delete Stored Print Jobs] settings are applied first.

If the application has a collate option, make sure it is not selected before send- ing a print job. By default, Hold Print jobs are automatically collated by the printer driver. If a collate option is selected from the application's Print dialog box, more prints than intended may be produced.
