Printing PDF Files without Using the ContentsBridge Utility
PDF files can be sent directly to the printer using commands such as lpr instead of the
ContentsBridge Utility. When printing with commands, the following control panel [PDF]
settings become enabled.
Refer to
• “[PDF]” (P. 110)
Note
• [2 Sided Printing] appears only when the Duplex unit (option) is installed.
• [Layout] does not appear when [PS] is selected for [Process Mode].
• When printing using the lpr command, use the lpr command to specify the number of copies. In such
cases, the [Quantity] setting on the control panel becomes invalid. If you do not specify the number of
copies using the lpr command, the printer assumes 1 set.
To print PDF files using lpr command, you must use the control panel or CentreWare
Internet Services to enable the printer’s LPD port (default: [Enabled]).
Refer to
• “[LPD]” (P. 116)
