Direct Printing

Direct Printing is convenient in an environment in which you want to keep using the print settings already configured in your host system, for example. The print jobs are output without having to release them from the control panel of the device and there is no need to wait next to the device for printing to end while printing a large document.

• During server direct printing, print jobs sent from a client computer are printed immediately from a target device via the Delegation Server

• During client direct printing, print job sent from a client computer are printed via RICOH Streamline NX PC Client.

Users can also print jobs without a user name or as a user alias in a case such as printing from UNIX or a mainframe.

The Administrator can use the Management Console to view the log of direct print jobs.

There are three methods available when configuring Direct Print:

• Client Direct Print

• Device Direct Print

• Server Direct Print

For an overview of the methods, see Direct Print Method Comparison.
