Description

Saving print jobs refers to the process of sending print jobs from a computer and storing them on the printer's hard disk.

Solution

Saving print jobs refers to the process of sending print jobs from a computer and storing them on the printer's hard disk. By saving print jobs, you can print them repeatedly as needed without sending them from a computer again.
 

 

 
Saving print jobs enables you to do the following things.
 

  • Save the time spent using a computer
    When you send a print job to the printer, you can either print it and save it on the printer at the same time or simply save it on the printer without printing it yet. Saved print jobs can be printed in the required quantity later without the need to use a computer again.
  • Simplify reprinting, if any errors occur
    If errors occur in the middle of printing (as when paper runs out), you can resume printing after clearing the error without resending the print job from a computer.
  • Streamline printing work
    Without using a computer, you can select print jobs and print in the desired quantity. You can also select multiple print jobs to print during the same period. This enables unattended operation at night, for example.


 

  
Choose the format when saving print jobs on the printer's hard disk. Choose from three formats for saving print jobs: Print, Print (auto delete), and Save in mail box. You can also choose Save data before printing, as desired.
 
 
  • Print
    Save print jobs automatically at the same time they are printed. (This is the default format.)
  • Print (auto delete)
    Save print jobs temporarily at the same time they are printed and delete them after printing.
  • Save in mail box
    Save print jobs on the printer without printing them.
  • Save data before printing
    This option is available in combination with Print, Print (auto delete), and Save in mail box. Print jobs are saved on the hard disk and then printed.

 
  
The storage area on the printer's hard disk is divided into a temporary storage area and a permanent storage area. Print jobs in the job queue or Common Box are saved in the temporary storage area. Jobs in Personal Boxes are saved in the permanent storage area.
 
 
  • Job queue
    Print jobs in progress(*1) are temporarily saved in the job queue, a storage space where jobs are saved in the order they will be printed.
    Up to ten jobs can be stored in the queue. Subsequent jobs are treated as "standby" jobs, to be processed when possible.
    *1: Jobs that are being saved, received, processed, printed, or deleted, or jobs that have been interrupted or are waiting to print
  • Common Box
    If you have specified Print as the format, jobs sent from the computer are saved in the Common Box.
    There is one Common Box, numbered 00. A password cannot be set for the Common Box.
    Up to 100 print jobs can be saved here, but they will be deleted one after another starting with the oldest job in the following situations.
     
    • If there are more than 101 jobs in the Common Box and job queue combined
    • If no more temporary storage space is available when jobs in the format Print or Print (auto delete) are received
    • If there is not enough space in the temporary or permanent storage area when jobs in the format Save in mail box are received
  • Personal Boxes
    You can store jobs in Personal Boxes in either of the following ways.
     
    • By moving a job stored in the Common Box into a Personal Box
    • By selecting Save in mail box as the format

    There are nine Personal Boxes, numbered 01 to 09. You can specify a name and password for each Personal Box.
    Up to 100 print jobs can be saved in all Personal Boxes combined.
