    Storing Print Jobs
    When you select a job type other than Normal Print in the Paper/Output tab of 
    the printer driver, the job will be stored in temporary memory until you request 
    to print it from the operator panel or turn off the printer.
     NOTE: Secure Print and Private MailBox Print require specifying a password for 
    confidentiality.
    Printing the Stored Jobs
    Once jobs are stored, you can use the operator panel to specify printing. Select 
    the job type you are using from Secure Print, Private MailBox Print, Public 
    MailBox Print, and Proof Print. Then, select your user name from a list. Secure 
    Print and Private MailBox Print require the password you specified in the driver 
    when you sent the job. 
    To print the stored documents, use the procedure below.
    1
    Press the   (Menu) button.
    2Press   button until Job Status is highlighted, and then press the   
    (Set) button.
    3Press   button until Print Menu is highlighted, and then press the   
    (Set) button.
    4Press   button until the desired job type is highlighted, and then press the 
     
    (Set) button.
    The stored document will be printed.
    Specifying Your Password on the Operator Panel (Secure Print/Private 
    MailBox Print)
    When you select Secure Print or Private MailBox Print from the 
    Print Menu after selecting your user name, the following prompt appears:
    []
     
    						
    							300Printing
    Use the buttons on the operator panel to enter the numeric password you 
    specified in the printer driver. The password you entered will be displayed as 
    asterisks (*******) to ensure confidentiality.
    If you enter an invalid password, the message Wrong Password appears. Wait 
    three seconds, or press the   (Set) or   (Cancel) button to return to the 
    screen for user selection.
    When you enter a valid password, you have access to all print jobs matching the 
    user name and password you entered. The print jobs matching the password you 
    entered appear on the screen. You can then choose to print or delete jobs 
    matching the password you entered. (See 
    Printing the Stored Jobs for more 
    information.)
    Deleting Stored Jobs
    With Secure Print, a job that has been stored will be deleted after printing or 
    deleted at a designated time if entered on the operator panel or at turning off the 
    printer.
    For other jobs, these jobs remain stored until you delete them on the operator 
    panel or turn off the printer.
    Printing from USB Memory
    The Print from USB Memory feature allows you to print files stored in a USB 
    memory by operating from the operator panel.

    than USB memory to the USB port of the printer.

    has finished printing.
    The USB port of the printer is designed for USB 2.0 devices. You must use only 
    an authorized USB memory with an A plug type connector. Use only a metal 
    shielded USB memory.

    Printer Settings
    You can change most of the system settings from your software program. If your 
    printer is attached to the network, you can change settings from the Dell Printer 
    Configuration Web Tool. To launch the Dell Printer Configuration Web 
    To o l, type the printers IP address in your web browser. To find your printers IP 
    address, see 
    Printing System Settings Report.
    Settings from the software program update the default system settings for the 
    printer. Settings from the printer driver only apply to the job that you are 
    currently sending to the printer.
    If you cannot change a setting from your software program, use the operator 
    panel, Tool Box or the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool. Changing a 
    system setting from the operator panel, Tool Box or from the Dell Printer 
    Configuration Web Tool makes that setting the user default.
