Reserving Jobs
You can reserve print jobs even while the machine is printing or waiting to process a job.
As an example, the procedure for printing JPEG and TIFF files that are stored in memory media is explained in this section.
You can reserve printing in the following cases:
While the Machine Is Waiting
You can specify print settings for a new job while the machine is waiting to process a job, as in the following cases.
Printing begins as soon as the wait period ends.
Between the time that the machine is turned ON and when it is ready to print
After you clear a paper jam
After a cover on the main unit or an optional unit, such as a finisher, is opened and closed
While the Machine Is Printing
You can specify print settings for a new job while the machine is printing.
Printing begins as soon as the current job is complete.

IMPORTANT
|
|
Make sure to correctly set the paper type, especially when printing on special types of paper, such as heavy paper or transparencies. If the type of paper is not set correctly, it could adversely affect the quality of the image. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty, or the paper could jam, and a service repair may be needed.
