Overview of Direct Printing
Direct Print is a print function that enables you to send a file without using a printer driver from the host terminal to the machine, which recognizes the file. Therefore, you do not need to open the file to print it.
You can print a PDF file by specifying the location on your computer or URL from the Remote UI.
You can also use the Direct Print function by entering a command (LPR command) in the command prompt.
IMPORTANT
To make the Direct Print function available, first register the license, then turn the main power of the machine OFF and then ON again, and finally initializing the printer's settings to their default values. For more information, see "Reset Printer."
With Direct Print, "Settings," "PS Settings," "Imaging Settings," and "PDF Settings" are available from the touch panel display.
NOTE
Even in cases where you cannot print a file or if the print output is out of alignment using the Direct Print function, you may still be able to open the file in an application and print it using the printer driver.
