Printing this quick reference information
This quick reference information is also included, in a printable format, on the
publications CD that shipped with your printer.
Printing confidential jobs
If you want to print a job that is personal or confidential, and you do not want
anyone else to see it, the printer can hold your job in memory until you arrive at the
printer.
Note: This only works with custom printer drivers. These drivers are located on the
drivers CD that shipped with your printer.
To print a confidential job:
1 In your word processor, spreadsheet, browser, or other application, select
File Print.
2 Click Properties (or Options, Printer, or Setup, depending on the
application) to view the printer driver settings.
3 Click Help and refer to the topic “Confidential print” or “Print and hold.” Follow
the instructions.
Note: If you send a large file to a shared network printer, it remains in the printer
memory until you print it. This could prevent others from printing. Retrieve
your print jobs as soon as possible. To check the amount of memory in your
printer, see Printing a menu settings page.
4 Go to the printer and use the operator panel to access your confidential print
job:
a Press Menu until you see Job Menu, and then press Select.
b Press Menu
until you see Confidential Job, and then press Select.
c Press Menu until you see your user name, and then press Select.
d Enter your four-digit personal identification number (PIN) using the
numbered buttons on the operator panel. As you enter your PIN, asterisks
appear on the display.
e Press Menu until you see Print A Job, and then press Select. (Print
All Jobs sends all jobs with the same user name and PIN immediately to
the printer.)
f Press Menu
until you see the job you want to print, and then press Select.
g Press Go to send the job to the printer.
After the job prints, the job is deleted from printer memory and the printer returns to
the Ready state.
Clearing jams
This section shows how to clear jams based on the operator panel jam messages.
To clear any jam, grasp the jammed media with two hands and pull it gently away
from the printer to remove it.

This may permanently damage the printer.

CAUTION: The inside of the printer near the fuser is hot.
To access jams behind the rear door, open the rear door and pull open both the
fuser pressure release levers. Remember to reposition the fuser pressure release
levers once you have removed the jam.
