3.8 Printing PDF Files Directly
Some PDF files can be sent directly to the printer without using a print driver. Printing PDF 
files directly is much easier and faster when compared to printing them using a print driver.
Important
• If you print a PDF file directly without using a print driver, the date/time, host/user name, document name 
on the [Job History Report] will be blank. If you print the file with a banner sheet, the date/time, user 
name and document name will not be printed on the banner sheet.
 PDF Bridge Feature
PDF Bridge is a feature that comes standard with the printer. There are two methods of 
printing PDF files using the PDF Bridge feature:
•  Using ContentsBridge Utility (software by Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.) 
•  Using commands such as lpr and ftp
Note
• When using ContentsBridge Utility, refer to the manual included on the CD-ROM of the Driver CD Kit. 
When using commands such as lpr and ftp, refer to "Printing PDF Files without Using ContentsBridge 
Utility" (P. 68).
• To print using the PDF Bridge feature, additional memory (optional) may be required.
Supported PDF Files
PDF files created on Adobe Acrobat 4, Adobe Acrobat 5 (excluding some of the features 
added to PDF1.4), or Adobe Acrobat 6 (excluding some of the features added to PDF1.5) 
can be printed on the printer.
Note
• Some PDF files cannot be printed directly depending on how they are created. In such case, open the 
files and print them using a print driver.
