Check and Print

This function is available in Windows only (not available in Macintosh). If Check and Print is turned on when printing a document, the print job is saved in the printer’s hard disk drive after printing a copy of your document. You can print copies of your document by using the job saved in the printer’s hard disk drive after confirming the printing result. The saved job can be printed with the Menu Mode of the printer (see “Performing Check and Print (Windows Only)” on page 48) or HDD Utility (see “Performing Check and Print” on page 217).

To perform Check and Print,

• The hard disk drive must be installed in the printer and within the “Device” tab in the printer driver.

PCL printer driver: See “Device Tab” on page 137. PS printer driver: See “Device Options Tab (Windows 95 / Windows 98 / Windows Me)” on

page 162 or “Device Settings Tab (Windows NT 4.0 / Windows 2000 / Windows XP)” on page 181.

■ Document name

Displays the sequential number and document name performed Check and Print. When no print job is saved in the printer’s hard disk drive, “No Job Available” is displayed.

• Copies

Sets the number of copies when printing the print job saved in the printer’s hard disk drive.

•Delete

Deletes the print job saved in the printer’s hard disk drive.

NOTE:

• After having finished printing the Check and Print job, it will be removed from the printer’s hard disk drive.
