Conserving supplies using the printer software

If you are printing a multiple-copy job, you can conserve paper or specialty media by sending a Verify print job. A
Verify print job lets you examine the first copy of a multiple-copy job to make sure it is satisfactory before you print
the other copies. If the job is unsatisfactory, you can cancel the job. If the job is satisfactory, you can select to print
the rest of the copies. For more information, see “Printing confidential and other held jobs” on page 58.
