USING THE PRINT RELEASE FUNCTION
This section explains how to store jobs in the primary
unit, and how to select and print jobs from a secondary unit.
If "Restrict Print Jobs" is enabled in the system
settings and the function used is "Document Filing", the print release
function cannot be used.
In addition, when the restriction action of "Restrict Print Jobs"
is [Force Retention], even if print release is specified in the printer
driver, the job will be saved in document fling.
Also, if the restriction action of "Restrict Print Jobs" is [Disable
Jobs except Print Hold] and print release is specified in the printer
driver, the printer job will be canceled.
