Direct Printing of PDF Files
This feature is available when the optional hard disk drive or
compact flash is installed.
You can send a PDF file directly to the printer for printing without
using the printer driver. As the print data is sent directly to the
printer, the printing process is simpler than printing with the printer
driver and it is done at a faster speed. The way to print a PDF file
directly is as follows.
Using PostScript Feature
You can use the PostScript feature to send a PDF file to the printer
directly for printing.
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 PS
1.4).
Note
• You may not be able to print some PDF files directly by
the printer due to the way they were created. When this
happens, open the PDF files and use the printer driver to
print them.
Printing a PDF File
When sending the PDF file to the printer for printing using lpr
command, printing will be done with the defaults set at the control
panel. These defaults include:
Note
• When lpr command is used for printing, specify the
number of copies by lpr command. The [Quantity]
setting on the control panel will become disabled. Also, if
the number of copies is not specified by lpr command, it
will be treated as one copy.
