   Note:

   In Windows 11, 10, 8.1, and 8, these applications will have a different layout with different features from what is described below for desktop applications. To access the print feature from a Start screen app, complete the following steps:

4. Select a Job Storage Mode option:

   • Proof and Hold: Print and proof one copy of a job, and then print more copies.

   • Personal Job: The job does not print until you request it at the printer control panel. For this job-storage mode, you can select one of the Make Job Private/Secure options. If you assign a personal identification number (PIN) to the job, you must provide the required PIN at the control panel. If you encrypt the job, you must provide the required password at the control panel. The print job is deleted from memory after it prints and is lost if the printer loses power.

   • Quick Copy: Print the requested number of copies of a job and store a copy of the job in the printer memory so you can print it again later.

   • Stored Job: Store a job on the printer and allow other users to print the job at any time. For this job-storage mode, you can select one of the Make Job Private/Secure options. If you assign a personal identification number (PIN) to the job, the person who prints the job must provide the required PIN at the control panel. If you encrypt the job, the person who prints the job must provide the required password at the control panel.

5. To create a custom user name or job name, click the Custom radio button, and then enter the user name or the job name in the text field.

   If the job name you entered is already being used for another stored job, choose one of the following options from the If job name exists drop-down list:

   • Use Job Name + (1-99): Append a unique number to the end of the job name.

   • Replace Existing File: Overwrite the existing stored job with the new one.

6. Click the OK button to close the Properties dialog box.
