2.8 Direct Printing of PDF File
You can send PDF files directly to the printer for printing without using the printer driver. As
the print data is sent directly to the printer, the printing process will be simpler than printing
with the printer driver and at a faster speed. The way to print a PDF file directly is as follows.
„ Using PDF Bridge Feature
To print PDF file using the PDF Bridge feature, you can use ContentsBridge Utility (Utility
software is supplied by Fuji Xerox) or lpr command to send the data directly to the printer.
PostScript software kit (optional) is required to use the PDF Bridge feature.
Note
• When using ContentsBridge Utility, refer to “Using ContentsBridge Utility to Print PDF” (P. 41). When
using lpr command, refer to “Printing a PDF File Without Using ContentsBridge Utility” (P. 47).
• To use the PDF Bridge feature correctly for printing, you may need to have the additional memory
(optional).
„ Using PostScript Feature
When the PostScript software kit (optional) has been installed, you can use the PostScript
feature to send PDF file to the printer directly for printing.
Note
• When using the PostScript feature to print PDF files directly, refer to “PDF” (P. 71) for details on how to
set [Process Mode] of [PDF] to [PS] on the control panel and then refer to“Printing a PDF File Without
Using ContentsBridge Utility” (P. 47) for details on how to print.
• Using the PostScript feature can print PDF file attached with object using LZW compression. LZW uses
the LZW algorithm that has received the license of US Patent No. 4,558,302.
Important
• When using USB or parallel port to print PDF file directly, use ContentsBridge Utility.
PDF Files That Can Be Printed
PDF files that can be printed are those created by Adobe Acrobat 4 and Adobe Acrobat 5
(except one part of the features added by PDF 1.4).
Note
• You may not be able to print some PDF files directly by the printer due to the way of creating them.
When this happens, open the PDF files and use the printer driver to print them.
