1 Introduction

PageScope Direct Print is an application for sending files such as PDF and TIFF files directly to a printer.

A file can be printed by dragging it to the appropriate icon on the desktop or by using the Windows shortcut menu (displayed by right-clicking), or the file can be printed automatically by using hot folders.

In addition, job settings, which consist of specified print settings, can be programmed.

1.1 System Requirements

Compatible operating systems	Windows Me, Windows 2000 Professional (Service Pack 4 or later), or Windows XP Home Edition/Professional (Service Pack 1 or later)
Compatible printers	Refer to the PageScope Direct Print Help or the Readme file for the model names of compatible printers. * A connection to an Ethernet network is required.
Compatible files	PDF, TIFF, PS, PCL, ASCII (Text)

• Differs depending on the printer being used for printing.

Note

With PageScope Direct Print, the only files that can be printed are those of formats compatible with the printer.

When PageScope Direct Print sends a file to the printer, file formats that can be printed are automatically detected.

For details on compatible file formats and versions, refer to the support information for the printer being used.

1.2 Main Features

Printing by dragging a file to the appropriate icon on the desktop

A file can easily be printed by dragging it to the appropriate icon on the desktop.

In addition, a desktop shortcut can be created for each job setting, allowing you to print using the print settings that best meet your needs.

Printing using the Windows shortcut menu (displayed by right-clicking)

A file can easily be printed by right-clicking it, then selecting "PageScope Direct Print" in the shortcut menu that appeared.

Automatic printing using a hot folder

A file can automatically be printed by copying it to a hot folder (folder monitored for printing) that has been set up in advance.

In addition, by specifying that a hot folder be shared and allowing it to be used on the local network, other users logged onto the network can print using the hot folder.

Registering multiple printers/job settings

By setting up multiple printers and job settings, it is no longer necessary to change the settings each time you wish to print.

Various settings such as the paper tray, paper type, stapling and hole punching settings, and the number of copies can be customized for each job setting.

Editing print settings

Job settings, such as the number of copies to be printed and the paper tray, can be edited during printing.

Specifying the authentication setting

The authentication settings can be specified when a printer is registered.

In addition, a dialog box for authentication appears before printing begins so that the user name or account name and their passwords can be entered.

Security functions

The settings can be saved by each user logged onto Windows.

Users with administrator privileges can use the settings of all users.

However, a general user has limitations applied when using the settings of other users.
