Printing without the Printer Driver (Direct Print)

The direct print function is a function that transmits a file from the host terminal to the printer without the printer driver and allows the printer to detect the file and print. Therefore, you do not need to open a file to print.


Direct Print from the Remote UI
	You can specify PDF, TIFF, JPEG, PS, or EPS format image files from the remote UI and perform Direct Print. For details on operating the Remote UI, see "Remote UI."
	Printing the PDF File Using the Direct Print Function
