Using the Print and Hold function
When sending a job to the printer, you can specify in the driver that you want the printer to hold the job
in memory and not print it immediately. When you are ready to print the job, use the printer operator
held
panel menus to identify which
panel for information on using the operator panel.) You can use this function to delay printing a job,
verify one copy before printing additional copies, request extra copies of a job at a later time, or print a
confidential job when you can be at the printer to retrieve it.
For more information about each of the four types of held jobs, click a topic:

• Reserve Print
• Verify Print
• Confidential jobs

Menu to scroll through the list. Press Select once you find your user name
Printing and deleting held jobs
Once held jobs are stored in printer memory, you can use the operator panel to specify what you want
to do with one or more of the jobs. From the Job Menu, you can select either Confidential Job or Held
Jobs (Repeat Print, Reserve Print, and Verify Print jobs). Then, you select your user name from a list.
If you select Confidential Job, you must then 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

5 Press Go to print or delete the jobs you have selected.
The printer briefly shows messages indicating what Print and Hold functions it is performing,
and then returns to the Ready message.
Recognizing when format errors occur
If the symbol appears on the operator panel 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. However, 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.
Repeat Print
If you send a Repeat Print job, the printer prints all requested copies of the job
memory so you can print additional copies later.
and
stores the job in
Note: Repeat Print jobs are automatically deleted from printer memory when the printer
requires extra memory to process additional jobs.
14
Reserve Print
If you send a Reserve Print job, the printer 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. Unlike Repeat Print jobs, Reserve
Print jobs are not automatically deleted if the printer requires extra memory to process additional jobs.
See Printing and deleting held jobs for more information on Reserve Print jobs.
Verify Print
If you send a Verify Print job, the printer prints one copy and holds the remaining copies 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 held in printer memory until you
enter the same four-digit PIN from the 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.
Entering a personal identification number (PIN)
When you select Confidential Job from the Job Menu, the following prompt appears on the display
after you select your user name:
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
