Printing without the Printer Driver (Direct Print)

The direct print function is a function that transmits a file from the host terminal to the printer without the printer driver and allows the printer to detect the file and print. Therefore, you do not need to open a file to print.

Direct Print from the Remote UI

You can specify PDF, TIFF, JPEG, or XPS format image files from the remote UI and perform Direct Print. For details on operating the Remote UI, see "Remote UI."

 Printing may not be performed properly depending on the data.
NOTE
If you cannot print a file using the direct print function or if the printing position is skewed
The file may be printed properly by opening it from an application and using the printer driver.
