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 filing.
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.
