The Proof and Hold and Private Job options are available under the Job Retention in
RAM feature, and do not require the installation of a hard disk.
The Quick Copy and Stored Job options require the installation of a printer hard disk. In
order to use all four of the job retention options the printer must have the optional hard
disk installed, the Printer Hard Disk checked on the More dialog box of the Configure
tab, and the print driver configured to use hard disk storage.
Configuring the printer driver for a printer hard disk
If the print driver on your computer is not yet configured to use the hard disk, follow these
simple steps:
NOTE: These steps must be completed for each driver.
1. Double-click on the My Computer icon. This opens the My Computer window.
2. Open the Printers window.
3. Right-click on the printer icon. This opens a drop-down menu. Select Properties.
The Properties dialog box appears.
4. Click on the Configure tab.
5. Click Other Options.
6. Under Storage, select the Printer Hard Disk check box.

Your PCL printer driver is now configured to use the hard disk and job retention features
of your Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 8150 Printer.
Job retention modes

under Windows 3.1x.
Using the HP LaserJet 8150's job retention feature, you can store documents in the
printer's memory and then control the printing of these documents using the printer's
control panel. This feature is intended to provide greater flexibility, convenience, security,

Once the job retention feature has been enabled, you can access its features in the
Destination tab of the printer driver.
NOTE: The job retention options available to you will depend on
whether your printer has an optional hard disk installed.
