Printing a Single Sample Set before Remaining Sets

If the hard disk is installed in the printer, you can use the Sample Print function.

If you are printing multiple sets of a document, printing a sample set first allows you to verify whether the printout is satisfactory. If you are satisfied with the first set, you can start printing the remainders by entering your user ID on the printer's control panel. Conversely, if you are unsatisfied and want to make changes to the document, you can cancel printing the remaining sets from the printer's control panel.

Note:

  1. Open the printing preferences dialog box after creating a document in an application.

  2. Click the Frequently Used Settings tab or the Job Setup menu of the Detailed Settings tab.

  3. In the Job Type: list, select Sample Print and click Details... to open the Change Job Type dialog box.

  1. In the User ID: list, select a user ID type.
    If you select Create Own ID, enter a user ID in the Enter User ID: box using up to 8 alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) characters.
    Depending on the printer you are using, symbols ('_', '.', '-', '/', and ':') can be entered.
    If you select Windows Login Name, the user ID may appear as the following:

  1. Click OK.

  2. After making any other necessary settings, click OK to close the printing preferences dialog box.

  3. Start the print job.
    Only one set is printed.

  4. To print the remaining sets, initiate printing from the printer's control panel.
    For more information about using the printer's control panel, see the operating instructions provided with the printer.
