Using the Virtual Printer
This section explains virtual printer functions.
A virtual printer is a pseudo printer that can only be recognized on a network. The virtual printer has various
print options, such as feeding tray selection and duplex printing, which you can set in advance. You can
also use the interrupt printing function. This function suspends the ongoing job and gives priority to a new
job. The optional hard disk must be installed to use this function.
If you use the virtual printer under UNIX, Solaris, and other operating systems, various print functions are
possible without having you manually enter usual print commands.
