Printing PDF, PS/EPS, XPS, or Image Files Directly (Direct Print)

You can print PDF, PS/EPS, XPS, or image files directly from the Remote UI, without having to open the files.
For information on the optional products required to use this function, see "Optional Products Required for Each Function."
IMPORTANT
The Direct Print function is available for XPS files only when the Direct Print Kit (for PDF/XPS) is available for use.
The image files that you can print directly are TIFF and JPEG files.
Direct printing may take a while to start after clicking [Start Printing]. Do not click [Start Printing] more than once.
NOTE
Even in cases where you cannot print a file using the Direct Print function, or if the print output is out of alignment, you may still be able to open the file in an application and print it using the printer driver.
For more information on print settings, see "Overview of Direct Printing."
