Sample Print
Use this function to print only the first
set of a multiple-set print job. After
you have checked the result, remain-
ing sets can be printed or canceled us-
ing the machine's control panel. This
can reduce misprints due to mistakes
in content or settings.
Limitation
❒ A Sample Print file cannot be stored
if:
• the total number of Sample Print,
Locked Print, Hold Print, and
Stored Print files in the machine
is over 100. (The maximum num-
ber varies depending on the vol-
ume of data in files.)
• the file contains over 1,000 pages.
• sent or stored files in the machine
contain over 9,000 pages in total.
Note
❒ If a Sample Print file has not been
stored properly, check the error
log on the control panel (see p.105
“Checking the Error Log”).
❒ Even after you turn off the ma-
chine, stored documents in the ma-
chine remain. However, the [Auto
Delete Temporary Print Jobs] or [Auto
Delete Stored Print Jobs] settings are
applied first (see p.128 “System”).
❒ If the application has a collate op-
tion, make sure it is not selected be-
fore sending a print job. By default,
Sample Print jobs are automatically
collated by the printer driver. If a
collate option is selected from the
application's [Print] dialog box,
more prints than intended may be
produced.
❒ If the first set of the Sample Print
files is not as you expected and you
do not want to print remaining
sets, delete the Sample Print file
using the display panel. If you
print the remaining sets of the
Sample Print file, the job in the ma-
chine is deleted automatically.
