	Q
Stored jobs
When you send a print job to the printer, you can save the job automatically on the printer’s hard disk
drive, on a rotating first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis. You can “lock” a job to prevent it from being rotated
out, but this reduces the amount of space available for subsequent jobs to be saved. You can also
save a stored job without printing it until you print it from the control panel, or only print the job without
saving...
