When you print a large number of copies, use of the Proof Print function will prevent a large number of misprints being created, thereby reducing the amount of waste paper generated. For details, refer to Here.
When multiple sets of copies are printed, the paper output position of each set is staggered to help you locate the first page of each set.
When the [Collate] check box in [Output Method] is selected, copies are output in a set-by-set manner, for example, "Pages 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5", "Pages 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5", and then "Pages 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5". When the [Offset] check box is selected, the sets are output in staggered layers.
When you select both [Collate] and [Offset] check boxes, the output position is staggered for each set, allowing you to easily prepare handouts.
The Proof Print function is used when printing multiple copies. It allows the printer to output one copy and pause the printing operation before printing the remaining copies.
Because you can check the print result before starting printing the remaining copies from the Touch Panel, this function is helpful to prevent a lot of misprints.
In [Output Method:] in the [Output Method] window, select [Proof Print].

When printing a document in an environment where user authentication or account track is employed, you need to send the authentication information (user name and password) to this machine to execute printing. This requirement limits the users who can use this machine, preventing unauthorized use by a third party.
When this machine receives a print job from a user who is not allowed to print or a print job without authentication information, this machine automatically discards the job.
A print job without authentication information is a print job that is sent without correctly configuring the User Authentication/Account Track setting using the printer driver even though the User Authentication/Account Track setting is configured on this machine.
If [Print] in [Output Method:] is selected while the [User Authentication]/[Account Track] check box is cleared on the [Output Method] window of the printer driver, the print job is considered as a print job without authentication information.
When printing a highly confidential document in an environment where user authentication or account track is employed, using the ID & Print function enables high security printing. For details, refer to Here.
If the quick authentication for printing server is installed, you can start printing by authentication with only the user name but without password entry. How to configure the setting is explained using Web Connection. For details, refer to Here.
If [ID & Print] is set to [ON] in [ID & Print Settings], a print job is considered as an ID & Print job even if [Output Method] is set to [Print] for the printer driver (default: [OFF]). For details on [ID & Print Settings], refer to Here.

Execute printing.
Printing starts successfully when the authentication information is judged correct.
The ID & Print function saves print data in a box on this machine in an environment where user authentication is employed. Because the data is not printed within a short time period, this function prevents printed materials from being missing or left unattended.
Since you need to be authenticated in this machine to print the data saved in the box, this function is suitable for safely printing highly confidential documents. When you are successfully authenticated, the print data of the login user is automatically printed. This enhances security as well as ensures smooth operation.
A single job allows you to print out a document of up to 2999 pages in length.
