HP 2420 - Manual (Page 172)

The HP LaserJet 2410, 2420, and 2430 printers offer the following Job Storage Mode options:
■ Off
■ Proof and Hold
■ Private Job
These options and the settings that control them are described below.
Off
When selected, this option turns the Job Storage feature off (it is disabled), which means that the
print job will not be stored in the product.
Proof and Hold
To use the Proof and Hold option, Job Storage must be enabled, and the product must have a
minimum total memory of 80 MB.
When selected, this option stores the print job in memory and prints only the first copy of the job,
allowing you to check the first copy. If the document prints correctly, you can print the remaining
copies of the print job at the control panel. You can set the number of proof-and-hold print jobs that
can be stored in the product at the control panel.
After it is released for printing, the proof-and-hold job is immediately deleted from the product. If
more copies are needed, you must reprint the job from the software program. If you send a second
proof-and-hold job to the product with the same user name and job name as an existing proof-and-
hold job (and you have not released the original job for printing), the job will overwrite the existing
job. Proof-and-hold jobs are deleted if you turn off the product.
NOTE The product configuration can be set to hold a maximum of 50 quick-copy or proof-
and-hold jobs. The number is set at the product control panel in the CONFIGURATION menu,
and the default is 32. When this preset limit is reached, the new document overwrites the
oldest held document. Also, a document that has the same user and job name as one that is
already stored on the hard disk will overwrite the existing document.
Private Job
To use the Private Job option, Job Storage must be enabled, and the product must have a minimum
total memory of 80 MB.
When you select Private Job, the print job is sent to the product, but is not printed until you request
the job at the product control panel. Selecting Private Job activates the Job Identification group
box. The print job can be printed only after you type the correct PIN at the control panel. After the job
is printed, the job is deleted from the product. This feature is useful when you are printing sensitive or
confidential documents that you do not want to leave in an output bin after printing.
After it is released for printing, the private job is immediately deleted from the product. If more copies
are needed, you must reprint the job from the software program. If you send a second private job that
has the same user name and job name as an existing private job (and you have not released the
original job for printing), the job will overwrite the existing job, regardless of the PIN. Private jobs are
deleted if you turn off the product.
