If you want to reprint a document that has just been printed, you can reprint
it by pressing the Reprint switch. Also, if you have created a document that
you wish to share with colleagues, simply spool the document to a non-
secure area of the printer. This document can then be re-printed by anyone
who is on the network or at the printer Control panel.
You can use the reprint function when the printer is READY or in the Settings
menu.
When you want to print SECURE data, we recommend RAM enhancement
to enable the reprint using the RAM function.
When you use RAM to reprint;
☛
☛☛ ☛ 1.Press the Set switch on the Control panel to exit from the READY status and
select RAMDISK SIZE in the SETUP mode.
☛
☛☛ ☛ 2.The default RAM size is 0MB. Press the + switch to increase the reprint RAM
size in 1MB steps.
  Note
When you increase the RAM size for secure printing, the work area of the
printer is decreased and the printer performance will be reduced. When you
store the data in RAM, the data will be deleted when the printer power is
turned off.
We also recommend adding additional RAM when you want to be able to
print a large amount of secure data. (See RAM expansion in Chapter 4.)

When you want to delete the spooled data, you can carry out this operation
on the control panel.
