Advanced Features and Troubleshooting Manual 57
Hard Disk Drive and Memory (DRAM and Flash ROM)
Using the hard disk drive for secure and proof printing and collated copying
These features* are available when the printer contains the optional hard drive. Use the
secure print feature when you need to print a confidential document. Use the proof print
feature when you have a job with multiple copies but want to check the first copy before
proceeding with the remainder of the job.
Refer to the User Guide for instructions on printing a secure or proof job.
Secure, collated copy, and proof jobs that have been submitted to the printer are stored in
PCL or PostScript format on the hard drive. The secure or proof job is placed at the top of
the print queue, and prints following completion of the currently printing job. If more than
one job is requested, jobs are placed in the print queue in the order requested. Secure or
proof jobs having the same priority are printed on a first in, first out basis. When you en ter
the password at the printer, the printer only prints jobs associated with that password.

Creating secure jobs without the driver

When not using a driver, you can create secure jobs by preceding the job with the
following PJL commands:
@PJL XSECUREJOB
@PJL XJOBPASSWORD = "number"
These commands must be immediately followed by a standard PJL “JOB” command that
includes the “jobname.”
The job name can be up to 16 alphanumeric characters. The password must contain four
numeric characters (0-7). If there is not a job name or there is a syntax error in the job
name, the printer assigns a default job name. The job name is displayed on the control
panel’s Password menu when you enter its associated password. If there isn’t a password
or the password contains syntax errors, the job is discarded (not printed).
The following example creates a Secure Job named “Bond” with a password of 0007:
<ESC>%-12345X@PJL XSECUREJOB
@PJL XJOBPASSWORD = 0007
@PJL JOB NAME = "Bond"
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL
...PCL file...
<ESC>%-012345X@PJL EOJ
<ESC>%-012345X
The printer processes all data following the @PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL command as
part of the Secure Job named “Bond.” The job is stored on the hard disk under the name
“Bond” with a password of “0007”(as defined in the @PJL XJOBPASSWORD command).
The @PJL EOJ command signifies the end of the secure job. The EOJ command should be
followed by a UEL command.
*Collated set jobs can be created without a driver by using the “Select Collated Sets” PJL command (@PJL SET QTY...) described in
AppendixC - Unique Printer Com mands.
