Printing confidential and held jobs
The term held job refers to any type of print job that can be initiated by the user at the MFP. This includes a confidential job,
a verify print job, a reserve print job, a repeat print job, a bookmark, a profile, or a file on a USB flash memory device. When
sending a job to the MFP, you can specify in the driver that you want the MFP to hold the job in memory. Once your job is
stored in MFP memory, go to the MFP, and use the MFP control panel to specify what you want to do with your print job.
All confidential and held jobs have a user name associated with them. To access confidential or held jobs, you must first
select the type of job (confidential or held), and then select your user name from the user name list. Once you select your
user name, you can print all your confidential jobs, or select an individual print job. You can then choose the number of
copies for the print job, or you can delete the print job.
Printing a confidential job
When you send a confidential job to the MFP, you must enter a personal identification number (PIN) from the driver. The
PIN must be four digits using the numbers 0–9. The job is held in MFP memory until you enter the same four-digit PIN from
the control panel and choose to print or delete the job. This ensures the job does not print until you are there to retrieve it.
No one else using the MFP can print the job without the PIN.
