Description: How to automatically print jobs when logging into the MFP.

Details: Follow these instructions to set up automatic printing using job retention.

Note:  For the purposes of this document it is assumed that the user or administrator knows how to send print jobs to Document Filing and set up User Control on the MFP.

If print jobs are password protected or if they are in a folder that is password protected they will not be printed automatically.



When User Control is enabled and printing using Retention under the Job Handling tab of the print driver preferences, jobs can be set to print automatically when logging in.

The user name for the job goes into the Default Job ID field. If the User Name box is checked and the field is filled out, this will be the user name associated with the print job. If the MFP is in a domain environment and the box is unchecked the print job will use the domain login name of the user logged in and printing.




In the MFP web page navigate to User Control, Default Settings. Check the box for Automatically print stored jobs after login then submit.





If using LDAP authentication, there is no need to create users under the user list. Leave the Default Job ID box unchecked in the print driver. Send jobs into Retention from the print driver, then log in at the MFP panel using the user’s domain login and the user will be prompted to print their stored jobs.

Please note that if the files are password protected or if they are in a folder that is password protected they will not be printed.

If PC is not in a domain environment then the following will be needed in addition to the above:

Add a user to the User List in the MFP web page. Fill out required information and make note of the User Name field.  In the print driver at the PC under Print Preferences, Job Handling tab check the box for Default Job ID and use the same User Name that was added to the web page.

Then at the MFP, log in and the MFP will be prompted to auto print once logged in. Please note that if the files are password protected or if in a folder that is password protected they will not be printed Please note that on newer model MFPs next to the check box for Automatically print stored jobs after login there is a dropdown with the option to choose Login Name or User Name.  Select User Name for this to work if the Default Job ID box in the print driver is unchecked.
