Using the Reserve Job Function

Re-Print Job
Verify Job
Confidential Job

The Reserve Job function allows you to store print jobs on the printer’s memory and to print them later directly from the printer’s control panel. Follow the instructions in this section to use the Reserve Job function.

Note:

You need to keep sufficient RAM disk capacity in order to use the Reserve Job function. To enable RAM disk, you have to set the RAM Disk setting on the control panel to Normal or Maximum. We recommend installing an optional memory to use this function. For instructions about increasing your printer’s memory, see Installing a memory module.

The table below gives an overview of the Reserve Job options. Each option is described in detail later in this section.

Re-Print Job	Lets you print the job now and store it for later reprinting.
