Previewing a Document on the Machine Before Printing (Hold)
Hold is a function to temporarily save the document (print data) sent from a computer to the machine in the memory of the machine, instead of printing it straight away.
The document on hold can be printed after reviewing the details of the document on the control panel or printing a sample to check the print result so that you can avoid unwanted printing.
If printing is not performed after a set period of time, the document data on hold is deleted automatically from the memory, and you can no longer print the data.
NOTE
The storage space for the Hold function is shared with the Mail Box. For details on the storage capacity, see the specifications of the Mail Box.
