Document identifiers used in Job Storage When you use a job storage feature, your document is identified at the printer control panel by user name and job name. User Name Use the User Name edit box to identify the job at the printer control panel. When the driver is first installed (or when Default Print Settings in the Print Task Quick Sets drop-down menu is selected), this string initializes to the empty string (""), but the dialog box detects this condition and replaces the string with your login name in Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0. Restrictions for the User Name field are described in the "Job Name" section. Job Name Use the Job Name edit box to specify a name to identify the job at the printer control panel. When the driver is first installed (or when Default Print Settings in the Print Task Quick Sets drop-down menu is selected), this string initializes to the empty string (""), but the dialog box detects this condition and replaces the string with "Untitled". The Job Name and the User Name fields can contain no more than 16 characters each, and are limited to A through Z and 0 through 9, because the name appears on the printer control-panel display. If you try to type a lowercase character, it automatically shifts to uppercase. If you try to type a character with an ASCII code of fewer than 32 or more than 126 characters, the character is removed from the edit field, along with all characters that follow it. If you try to type more than 16 characters, any character beyond 16 is truncated. When the dialog box is closed, or the edit box loses focus, an empty string is replaced with "Untitled". In those languages for which "Untitled" cannot be translated without the use of invalid characters, the driver uses a string of three dashes. The acceptable characters for job name and user name vary for each operating system. The string must meet requirements to be able to appear on the printer control-panel display. Using Job Storage options when printing You can use Job Storage options in the Destination tab of the printer driver. Note The printer driver that is installed on your computer must be configured to use the Job Storage features. To enable Job Storage, click Start, click Settings, click Printers, and right-click the printer icon. Click Properties, click the Configure tab, and select the Job Storage Enabled check box. Note 1. Click Print from the software program. The Print dialog box appears. 2. Click Properties. The Properties dialog box appears. 3. Click the Device Settings tab to show the destination options. 4. Click Job Storage on the under Installable Options. 5. Click Settings. The Change Job Storage Settings dialog box appears. You can then select one of the Job Storage options described above by clicking the appropriate option button. These instructions are specific to the Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows NT 4.0 environments when using the latest available HP traditional PS driver. While the basic concepts of Job Storage are the same for PCL 5e and PCL 6 print jobs, there are significant differences in the driver user interface. Also, there are some limitations in naming and PIN selection. Releasing private jobs stored at the printer Once you send a print job using Job Storage, you can release the job to print at the printer control panel. 1. Press the select button (the one with the check mark) to open the menus. 2. Press the up and down buttons to scroll to RETRIEVE JOB, and then press the select button. 104 HP traditional PS driver features Software Technical Reference
