Reserving Jobs
You can reserve print jobs even while the machine is printing or waiting to process a job.
As an example, the procedure for printing files that are stored in the Mail Box is explained in this section.
You can reserve printing in the following cases:
While the Machine Is Waiting
You can specify print settings while the machine is in the waiting state. This can be directly after you turn the machine ON, or after you clear a paper jam. Printing begins automatically when the machine is ready.
While the Machine Is Printing
You can specify print settings for a new job while the machine is printing. Printing begins after the current job is complete.

Reserving a Print Job Using the Stack Bypass-B1
You can reserve the paper type to use in the Stack Bypass-B1 when printing a series of jobs using the Stack Bypass-B1 in sequence.

If you want to print on the back side of a previously printed sheet, press [2nd Side of 2-Sided Page].
IMPORTANT
Be sure to correctly set the paper type. If the type of paper is not set correctly, it could adversely affect the quality of the image. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty, or the paper could jam, and a service repair may be needed.
NOTE
You can register paper types that are not displayed on the detailed settings list in <Change Multi-Purpose Tray Paper: Paper Type>. For more information on storing the paper type, see "Registering Custom Paper Types."
If there is more than one reserved job waiting to print, only the last paper size/type specified for the reserved print job appear on the Paper Select screen.

When it is time for the reserved print job to be printed, load the specified paper into the Stack Bypass-B1.
If any paper for the completed job is remaining in the Stack Bypass-B1, remove the paper, and then load the specified paper into the Stack Bypass-B1. For information on how to load paper into the Stack Bypass-B1, see "Loading Paper into the Stack Bypass-B1."
NOTE
Make sure to load the same paper size and type selected in step 5 into the Stack Bypass-B1. Printing does not start if paper of a different size or type is loaded.
NOTE
You can specify up to six jobs to be reserved, including the current job. If you select seven or more files to print at one time, the confirmation screen appears. Interrupt print jobs are not included in this count.
You can set different print modes and paper sources, including the Stack Bypass-B1, for each reserved job.
If [Multi-Purpose Tray Defaults] is set to 'On' in Device Use Settings, reserved printing can be performed only for the registered paper size and type. (See "Registering Multi-Purpose Tray Defaults.")
For more information on paper types, see "Available Paper Stock."
You cannot reserve a print job if the memory of the machine becomes full.
