DIRECTLY PRINTING A FILE IN A NETWORK FOLDER

Overview

You can specify and print a file in a network folder from the touch panel of the machine.
Even if the network folder is not registered, you can access the network folder by directly entering or referring to the path to the folder in the workgroup.
To register a network folder:
In "Setting mode", select [Application Settings] → [Setting for Print from the MFP(SMB)] to store a network folder. (Administrator rights are required.) Up to 20 network folders can be registered.
When you select a PDF file that has a password, you must enter the password in the job status screen to begin printing.
