Directly Printing from the PC (Direct Print)
Direct Print
Direct Print is a function that enables you to directly send PDF (Ver.1.6), JPEG, TIFF, XPS, PS, PCL, Text, OOXML (.docx/.xlsx/.pptx), and PPML (.ppml/.vdx/.zip) files on your computer or in an SMB sharing folder to this machine to print them without using the printer driver.
A text file supports only 1-byte characters.
You can print a file stored on your computer or an SMB sharing folder by specifying it using Web Connection.
