Printing Confidential Jobs

If you want to print a job that you do not want anyone else to see, 
the printer can hold your job in memory until you arrive at the 
printer.

NOTE: This only works with custom printer drivers. These drivers are 
located on the drivers CD that shipped with your printer.

To print a confidential job:

1

In your word processor, spreadsheet, browser, or other 
application, select File   Print.

2

Click Properties (or Options, Printer, or Setup depending 
on the application) to view the printer driver settings. 

3

Click Help and refer to the topic “Confidential print” or 
“Print and hold.” Follow the instructions. 

NOTE: If you send a large file to a shared network printer, it remains in 
the printer memory until you print it. This could prevent others from 
printing. Retrieve your print jobs as soon as possible. To check the 
amount of memory in your printer, see 

.

Adjust the width guide after 
loading the letterhead.
