Making a Trial Printing ([Proof Print]) 

Proof Print

The Proof Print function is used when printing multiple copies. It allows the printer to output one copy and 
pause the printing operation before printing the remaining copies. 

Because you can check the print result before starting printing the remaining copies from the 

Touch Panel

this function is helpful to prevent a lot of misprints. 

How to print from the computer 

1

In [Output Method] in the [Basic] tab, select [Proof Print].

2

Specify the number of copies, then execute printing. 

Only one copy is printed. Continue to "Operations on this machine".
