● Quick Copy: Print the requested number of copies of a job and store a copy of the job in the printer
memory so you can print it again later. The job is deleted manually or by the job retention schedule.
● Stored Job: Store a job on the printer and allow other users to print the job at any time. For this
job-storage mode, you can select one of the Make Job Private/Secure options. If you assign a personal
identication number (PIN) to the job, the person who prints the job must provide the required PIN
at the control panel. If you encrypt the job, the person who prints the job must provide the required
password at the control panel. The job is deleted manually or by the job retention schedule.
5. To use a custom user name or job name, click the Custom button, and then enter the user name or the job
name.
Select which option to use if another stored job already has that name:
● Use Job Name + (1-99): Append a unique number to the end of the job name.
● Replace Existing File: Overwrite the existing stored job with the new one.
6. Click the OK button to close the Document Properties dialog box. In the Print dialog box, click the Print
