Using the Printer Hard Disk
The printer can save print jobs on the built-in hard disk.
Using print jobs stored on the printer enables you to print the jobs again as needed without using a computer.
Saving print jobs offers the following benefits.
•Save the time spent using a computer
When you send a print job to the printer, you can save it on the printer after printing or simply save it on the printer without printing it yet. Saved print jobs can be printed in the required quantity later without the need to use a computer again.
•Simplify reprinting, if any errors occur
If errors occur in the middle of printing (as when paper runs out), you can resume printing after clearing the error without resending the print job from a computer.
•Streamline printing work
Without using a computer, you can select print jobs and print in the desired quantity. You can also select multiple print jobs to print during the same period. This enables unattended operation at night, for example.

  Output Method
To save print jobs on the printer's hard disk, choose Output Method (in Windows) or Send job to (in Mac OS X).
•Print
Save print jobs on the printer's hard disk after printing.
•Save in mail box
Save print jobs on the printer's hard disk.
•Print after reception is complete
This option is available in combination with Print. Print jobs are saved on the printer's hard disk before printing.

  Storage destination
The storage area on the printer's hard disk is divided into a temporary storage area and a permanent storage area. The temporary storage area stores print jobs in the job queue or shared mailbox. The permanent storage area stores jobs in personal boxes.
•Job queue
The job queue refers to print jobs that are being processed by the printer (saved, received, prepared for processing, printed, deleted, or held). Up to 64 jobs can be stored in the temporary storage area.
When the job queue is full, additional jobs sent from a computer are treated as "standby" jobs, to be processed when possible.
However, if all queued jobs are simply being held, the oldest job is deleted and the print job sent from the computer is processed.
•Shared mailbox
Jobs for which you have specified Print in Output Method (in Windows) or Send job to (in Mac OS X) are saved in the shared mailbox and classified as saved jobs.
There is one shared mailbox, numbered 00. A password cannot be set for the shared mailbox.
Up to 100 print jobs can be saved here, but they will be deleted one after another starting with the oldest job in the following situations.
•If there are more than 100 jobs queued and saved in the shared mailbox combined
•If no more temporary storage space is available when jobs for which you have selected Print in Output Method (in Windows) or Send job to (in Mac OS X) are received
•If there is not enough space in the temporary or permanent storage area when jobs for which you have selected Save in mail box in Output Method (in Windows) or Send job to (in Mac OS X) are received
•Personal boxes
Jobs are classified as saved jobs and saved in personal boxes in the following situations.
•When a saved job stored in the shared mailbox is moved to a personal box
•When you have selected Save in mail box as the option in Output Method (in Windows) or Send job to (in Mac OS X)
There are 29 personal boxes, numbered 01 to 29. You can specify a name and password for each personal box.
Up to 100 print jobs can be saved in all personal boxes combined.
