Proof and Hold This option stores the print job on the printer hard disk, 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 from the printer control panel. The number of proof-and-hold print jobs that can be stored in the printer is set from the printer control panel. Using a PIN for Private Job and Stored Job The Private Job and Stored Job options 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. The box labeled PIN is usually inactive. Selecting Private Job or Stored Job along with Require PIN to Print activates the PIN box. The Stored 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 and Stored Job with Require PIN to Print selected. 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 on the hard disk. Once released for print, the private job is immediately deleted from the printer. If more copies are needed, it will be necessary to reprint the job from the application. 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 second job will overwrite the older job, regardless of the PIN. Private jobs are deleted if power to the printer is removed. Stored Job The Stored Job option allows you to send a print job directly to the printer hard disk. The print job will be stored in the printer as if it is an electronic file cabinet. After the print job is stored in the printer's hard disk, you can print the job from the printer control panel. The job remains stored on the printer until it is deleted or overwritten by a document with the same user and job names. Stored jobs remain on the printer hard disk when power is interrupted. Use this feature for forms and other common or shared documents. Software Technical Reference PCL 5c and PCL 6 driver features 79
