Holding a job in the printer

When sending a job to the printer, you can specify in the driver that you want the printer to hold the job in memory. When you are ready to print the job, you must go to the printer and use the operator panel menus to identify which held job you want to print.

Note: Print and Hold functions require a minimum of 16MB available printer memory. W e

recommend a minimum of 32MB available printer memory and a hard disk.

To learn more about this function, click a topic:

• Printing and deleting held jobs

• Recognizing when format errors occur

• Verifying print jobs

• Accessing held jobs from

the operator panel

• Repeating print jobs at a later time

• Printing confidential jobs

• Reserving print jobs

Printing and deleting held jobs

Once held jobs are stored in printer memory, you can use the printer operator panel to specify what you want to do with one or more of the jobs. You can select either Confidential Job or Held Jobs (Repeat Print, Reserve Print, and Verify Print jobs) from the Job Menu. If you select Confidential Job, you must enter the personal identification number (PIN) you specified in the driver when you sent the job. See Confidential jobs for more information.

From either the Confidential Job or the Held Jobs menu items, you have five choices:

• Print All Jobs

• Print A Job

• Delete All Jobs

• Delete A Job

• Print Copies

Accessing held jobs from the operator panel

1 To access held jobs from the operator panel:

– If the printer is Busy, press Menu and the Job Menu appears. – If the printer is Ready, continue to step 2.

2 Press Menu until you see Held Jobs or Confidential Job on the operator panel display,

depending on the type of job you want to access.

3 Press Select.

User Name appears on the first line of the operator panel. The second line displays the names of users currently associated with Print and Hold jobs.

4 Press Menu until you see your user name.

Note: If you are looking for a Confidential Job, you are prompted to enter your PIN. See

Confidential jobs for more information.

5 Press Select. 6 Press Menu until the action you want to take is on the second line of the operator panel (Print

A Job, Delete A Job, and so on).

7 Press Select.

– If you are looking for a particular job, press Menu to scroll through the list of available jobs,

and press Select when the correct job is displayed. An asterisk (*) appears next to the job name indicating you have chosen to print or delete that job.

– If you are prompted to enter the number of copies you want to print, use the Menu button

to increase or decrease the number on the display, and then press Select.

8 Press Go to print or delete specific jobs you have marked.

The printer briefly shows messages indicating what Print and Hold functions it is performing.

Recognizing when format errors occur

If the symbol appears on the display, it indicates that the printer had trouble formatting one or more of the held jobs. These formatting problems are most commonly the result of insufficient printer memory or invalid data that might cause the printer to flush the job.

When a symbol appears next to a held job, you can:

• Print the job. Be aware, however, that only part of the job may print.

• Delete the job. You may want to free up additional printer memory by scrolling through the list

of held jobs and deleting others you have sent to the printer.

If formatting errors are a recurring problem with held jobs, your printer may require more memory.

Repeat Print

If you send a Repeat Print job, the printer prints all requested copies of the job and stores the job in memory so you can print additional copies later. You can print additional copies as long as the job remains stored in memory.

Note: Repeat Print jobs are automatically deleted from printer memory when the printer

requires extra memory to process additional held jobs.

Reserve Print

If you send a Reserve Print job, the printer does not print the job immediately, but stores the job in memory so you can print the job later. The job is held in memory until you delete it from the Held Jobs menu. Reserve Print jobs may be deleted if the printer requires extra memory to process additional held jobs.

See Printing and deleting held jobs for information.

Ver ify Print

If you send a Verify Print job, the printer prints one copy and holds the remaining copies you requested from the driver in printer memory. Use Verify Print to examine the first copy to see if it is satisfactory before printing the remaining copies.

See Printing and deleting held jobs if you need help printing the additional copies stored in memory.

Note: Once all copies are printed, the Verify Print job is deleted from printer memory.

Confidential jobs

When you send a job to the printer, you can enter a personal identification number (PIN) from the driver. The PIN must be four digits using the numbers 1–6. The job is then h el d i n print e r m e mo ry unt i l you enter the same four-digit PIN from the printer operator panel and choose to print or delete the job. This ensures that the job does not print until you are there to retrieve it, and no one else using the printer can print the job.

When you select Confidential Job from the Job Menu and then select your user name, the following prompt is displayed:

Enter PIN: =____

Use the buttons on the operator panel to enter the four-digit PIN associated with your confidential job. The numbers next to the button names identify which button to press for each digit (1–6). As you enter the PIN, asterisks are displayed on the operator panel to ensure confidentiality.

Enter PIN =****

If you enter an invalid PIN, the message No Jobs Found. Retry ? appears. Press PIN, or press

When you enter a valid PIN, you have access to all print jobs matching the user name and PIN you entered. The print jobs matching the PIN you entered appear on the display when you enter the Print A Job, Delete A Job, and Print Copies menu items. You can then choose to print or delete jobs matching the PIN you entered. (See Printing and deleting held jobs for more information.) After printing the job, the printer deletes the confidential job from memory.

Stop to exit the Confidential Job menu.

Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface.

5 Place the paper against the back left corner of the tray, print side down.

Do not load bent or wrinkled paper.

Note: Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Overfilling the tray may cause jams.

Squeeze the front guide lev er and slide the guide until it lightly touches the stack of paper.

7 Reinstall the tray.

Make sure the tray is pushed completely into the printer.

Loading the 2000-sheet tray

Follow these instructions to load a 2000-sheet tray. Do not load any print media other than paper in the 2000-sheet tray.

1 Pull open the tray.

Squeeze the side guide lever, lift the guide, and place it into the appropriate slot for the size

paper you are loading.

3 Squeeze the two front guide levers and slide the guide to the correct position for the size paper

you are loading.

4 Slide the bottom support toward the front of the tray until it touches the front guide.

Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them.

6 Place the paper against the back left corner of the tray, print side down.

Do not load bent or wrinkled print media.

7 Close the tray.

Make sure the tray is pushed completely into the printer.

Note: Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Overfilling the tray may cause paper

jams.

Loading the multipurpose f eeder

You can use the multipurpose feeder one of two ways:

• Paper tray—As a paper tray, you can load print media in the feeder with the intention of

leaving the media in the feeder.

• Manual bypass feeder—As a manual bypass feeder, you send a print job to the feeder while

specifying the type and size of media from your computer. The printer then prompts you to load the appropriate print media before it prints.

Follow these instructions to load the multipurpose feeder.

1 Open the multipurpose feeder.

2 Squeeze the paper guide lever and slide the guide all the way toward the front of the printer.

Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them.

Do not fold or crease the print media. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface.

4 Arrange the stack of print media correctly for the size, type, and print method you are using.

5 Place the print media, print side up, along the left side of the multipurpose feeder, and then

push it in as far as it will go. Do not force the print media.

Note: Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Overfilling the feeder may cause jams.

6 Squeeze the paper guide lever and slide the guide until it lightly touches the side of the stack.

Linking trays

• If you load the same size and type of paper or specialty media in more than one tray, the

printer automatically links the trays. This means that when one tray is empty, it feeds from the next linked tray.

For example, if you have the same size and type of paper or specialty media loaded in tray 2 and tray 4, the printer feeds from tray 2 until it becomes empty, and then it feeds from the next linked tray—tray 4.

• If you load the same size paper or specialty media in each tray, make sure it is also all the

same type to link the trays. Once the trays you selected are loaded with the same size and type of paper or specialty

media, select the same Paper Type setting in the Pap er Me nu for these sources.

• To disable tray linking, set the Paper Type to a unique value in each one of the trays.

Note: To link trays loaded with Executive, Legal, JIS B4, or JIS B5 size paper, see Size

Sensing.

Linking bins

If you attach an optional finisher or mailbox to your printer, you can link output bins, or otherwise specify how the printer sends jobs to the bins, by changing the Configure Bins settings in the Paper Menu.

Tips for successful printing

Storing paper

Use the following guidelines to avoid paper feeding problems and uneven print quality.

• Store paper in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the

relative humidity is 40%.

• Store cartons of paper on a pallet or shelf rather than directly on the floor.

• If you store individual packages of paper out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a

flat surface so the edges do not buckle or curl.

• Do not place anything on top of paper packages.

Storing supplies

Choose a cool, clean storage area for your printer supplies. Store supplies right side up in their original packaging until you are ready to use them.

Do not expose supplies to:

• Direct sunlight

• Temperatures above 35°C (95°F)

• High humidity (above 80%)

• Salty air

• Corrosive gases

• Heavy dust

Avoiding jams

You can avoid most paper jams by correctly loading paper and specialty media in the printer. See the following for loading instructions:

• Loading the 500-sheet trays

• Loading the 2000-sheet tray

• Loading the multipurpose feeder

The following hints can help you avoid paper jams:

• Use only recommended paper.

• Do not load wrinkled, creased, or damp paper.

• Flex, fan, and straighten paper before you load it.

• Do not overload the trays or the multipurpose feeder. Make sure the stack height does not

exceed the maximum height indicated.

• Push all trays firmly into the printer after loading them.

• Make sure the guides in the trays are properly positioned for the size paper you have loaded.

• Do not load paper in a tray while a job is printing. Wait for a Load Tray <x> message before

you remove the tray from the printer. You may remove another tray and load it so long as the print job is not selecting the paper from

it.

• Do not send jobs to staple, hole punch, or offset for transparencies, labels, or card stock.

• We recommend that transparencies, labels, card stock, and envelopes not be sent to the

optional mailbox or optional finisher. These specialty media types should be sent to the standard bin.

• If an optional finisher or mailbox is attached to your printer, make sure the printer and option

are correctly aligned. Refer to the Setup Guide for alignment instructions.

• Make sure all cables that connect the duplex unit, high capacity feeder, finisher, or mailbox to

the printer are correctly attached. Refer to the Setup Guide for more information.

• If a jam should occur, clear the entire paper path. See Clearing the paper path for more

information.

Checking an unresponsive printer

Sometimes printer problems are very easy to solve. If your printer is not responding, first make sure:

• The power cord is plugged into the printer and a properly grounded electrical outlet.

• The electrical outlet is not turned off by any switch or breaker.

• Other electrical equipment plugged into the outlet is working.

• The printer is turned on.

• The printer cable is securely attached to the printer and the host computer, print server, option,

or other network device.

Once you have checked each of these possibilities, turn the printer off and back on. This often fixes the problem.

Understanding jam messages

Always clear the entire paper path when you receive any jam message.

Using MarkVision Professional

MarkVision™ Professional, the network printer management utility, indicates when it is time to replace supplies and points out actual or potential problems. When a printer needs attention, it alerts the network administrator with a detailed graphic of the printer showing the cause for the alert (for example, an empty paper tray). For more information about MarkVision Professional, refer to the drivers CD that shipped with your printer.

Using MarkVision Messenger

MarkVision Messenger lets you create Actions that execute specific commands whenever messages like Tray x Missing or 88 T oner Low appear on the display . F or e xample, you can create an Action that sends an e-mail to the administrator when the printer runs out of paper.

Actions can be set up to occur automatically, as well as conditionally or repeatedly. For more information about MarkVision Messenger, refer to the drivers CD that shipped with your printer.
