Off This option turns the Job Storage feature off (disables the feature), which means the print job will not be stored in the printer. Proof and Hold This option stores the print job and prints only the first copy of the job, allowing you to check the first copy. If the document prints correctly, you can print the remaining copies of the print job at the printer control panel. The number of proof-and-hold print jobs that can be stored in the printer is set at the printer control panel. After it is released for printing, the proof-and-hold job is immediately deleted from the printer. If more copies are needed, you must reprint the job from the program. If you send a second proof-and-hold job to the printer with the same user name and job name as an existing proof-and-hold job (and you have not released the original job for printing), the job will overwrite the existing job. Proof-and-hold jobs are deleted if power to the printer is removed. Private Job This option allows you to send a print job directly to the printer memory. Selection of Private Job activates the PIN field. The print job can be printed only after you type a PIN in the printer control panel. After the job is printed, the printer removes the job from the printer memory. This feature is useful when you are printing sensitive or confidential documents that you do not want to leave in an output bin after printing. Private Job stores the print job in the printer RAM memory. After it is released for printing, the private job is immediately deleted from the printer. If more copies are needed, you have to reprint the job from the program. If you send a second private job to the printer with the same user name and job name as an existing private job (and you have not released the original job for printing), the job will overwrite the existing job, regardless of the PIN. Private jobs are deleted if power to the printer is removed. Using a PIN for Private Job The Private Job option can be secured by a four-digit personal identification number (PIN). This number must be typed in the printer control panel before the printer prints the job. You can choose a predefined PIN, or you can also create a custom PIN. The box labeled PIN is usually inactive. Selecting Private Job along with Require PIN to Print activates the PIN box. The Private Job/PIN coupling has a PIN restriction of four ASCII numeric characters (ASCII 0-30 through 0-39). If you enter non-numeric characters, they are removed immediately. If you enter more than four characters, the characters past the fourth are truncated. The field temporarily allows fewer than four digits in the string, but when the edit field loses focus, the zeroes pad the left end until there are exactly four digits. The default initialized value for the PIN is 0000 for Private Job with Require PIN to Print selected. Document Identifiers used in Job Storage When you use a Job Storage feature, your document is identified in the printer control panel by user name and job name. User Name The User Name edit box allows you to identify the job at the printer control panel. When the driver is first, this string initializes to the empty string (""), but the dialog box detects this condition and replaces the string with your login name. Restrictions for the User Name field are described in the "Job Name" section. 134 HP PCL 5e, PCL 6, and PS unidriver features Software Technical Reference
