Printing: Beyond the Basics 4

Previewing with Check Print

This feature is available only with the printerÕs Extended Features option. When sending a multiple-page Þle to the printer through the driver, you can select Check Print to preview the Þrst page of the job and determine if the job is printing as expected before proceeding with the remainder of the job. This is especially useful when printing a large job.

The ability to access Check Print from the driver is enabled and disabled in the printerÕs front panel. You can also set the timeout in the front panel (the timeout is the amount of time the printer will wait after sending the Þrst page of a Þle, before it continues with the remainder of the job).

By default, access to Check Print is enabled, with a default timeout of

5 minutes. Refer to ÒFront panel menu mapÓ on page 7-5 for information on navigating the front panel menus.
