locked print. 
ƒ  The maximum number of pages is 2,000, including jobs using locked print and 
collation. 
Locked Print 
Using this feature, the print job is stored in the machine but will not be printed until the user 
inputs an ID and a password at the machine’s operation panel. These ID and password 
must match the ID and password that has been input with the printer driver. 
ƒ  Stored data is automatically deleted after it is printed. 
ƒ  Stored data can be manually deleted at the operation panel. 
ƒ  The partition can hold up to 100 files, including files stored using sample print. 
ƒ  The partition can hold a log containing up to 30 errors, excluding logs stored using 
locked print. 
ƒ  The maximum number of pages is 2,000, including jobs using sample print and 
collation. 
ƒ  Locked print uses the same hard disk partition (16.8 GB) as sample print and collation. 
Hold Print 
Using this feature, the print job is stored in the machine but will not be printed until the user 
inputs an ID at the machine’s operation panel. This ID must match the ID that has been 
input with the printer driver. 
ƒ  Stored data is automatically deleted after it is printed. 
Stored Print/ Store and Print 
Using this feature, stored files can be printed repeatedly without PC operation. Stored files 
can also be printed while the controller is receiving files, even if the file data has not been 
completely received. 
6.14.4 JOB SPOOLING 
Print data can be spooled (stored) in the machine’s HDD, and the machine starts to print 
when data transfer is complete. Since the machine stores all data first before printing, the 
host computer is freed up more quickly. 
 
ƒ  The supported print protocols are IPP and LPR. 
ƒ  The default setting for this feature is “off”. The user must switch it on using UP 
mode to enable this feature. 
ƒ  The size of the HDD partition for job spooling is 1 GB. 
ƒ  The partition can hold up to 150 jobs.  
						

							 
B230/B237 6-84  SM 
Related SP Modes 
Job spooling can be turned on and off using the SP mode (SP5-828-069) for each protocol. 
The machine does not spool jobs when job spooling is switched off with the SP mode, even 
when the customer switches it on with the user mode. 
Paper Source Selection 
Tray Priority (Auto Tray Select) 
 
The “Tray Priority” setting determines the start of the tray search when the user selects 
“Auto Tray Select” with the driver. The machine searches paper trays for the specified 
paper size and type. 
When no tray contains paper that matches the paper size and type specified by the driver, 
the controller stops printing until the user loads the correct paper. 
The “Tray Priority” setting can be specified in the following menu: 
 > System Settings 
> Tray Paper Settings > Paper Tray Priority: Printer. 
 
ƒ  The by-pass feed table is not part of the tray search. 
Tray Locking 
If “Tray Locking” is enabled for a tray, the controller skips the “locked” tray in the tray search 
process. 
The “Tray Locking” setting can be specified in the following menu: 
  > System Settings 
> Tray Paper Settings > Paper Type: Tray # > Apply Auto Paper Select (where the “#” 
indicates the tray number). 
The by-pass feed table cannot be unlocked (Tray Locking is always enabled). 
Manual Tray Select 
If the selected tray does not have the paper size and type specified by the driver, the

controller stops printing until the user loads the correct paper. 
Auto Continue 
Overview 
When this function is enabled, the machine waits for a specified period (0, 1, 5, 10, 15 
minutes) for the correct paper size and type to be set in the tray. If the timer runs out, the 
machine starts printing, even if there is no paper tray which matches the paper size and 
paper type specified by the driver. 
The machine searches for a paper tray in the following way: 
ƒ  The interval can be set with the following menu: 
  > Printer Features > System > 
Auto Continue. 
 
ƒ  The default setting for this feature is “Off.” 
Auto Tray Select 
 
When there is no paper tray that matches the paper size and type specified by the driver, 
the machine searches for any tray that has paper, and prints from the first tray it finds. The 
start of the tray search is the tray selected as the priority tray. 
Manual Tray Select 
The machine prints from the selected tray even if the paper size and type do not match the 
setting specified from the driver. 
If “Auto Continue” is disabled, the machine waits until the user loads the correct paper in 
the tray.

6.15 PICTBRIDGE 
6.15.1 GENERAL FUNCTION 
The PictBridge function can make a PictBridge-standard DSC (Digital Still Camera) 
connect with the machine using a USB cable. As a result, photographs in the DSC can be 
printed directly with a machine that has the PictBridge application. 
Photo image format 
ƒ Exif/JPEG 
ƒ JFIF 
ƒ  TIFF/MMR (Ricoh cameras only) 
 
ƒ  It is possible to connect more than one DSC at the same time, but it is only 
possible to print from one DSC. If more than one DSC is connected, you can only 
print from the first DSC that was connected.

6.15.3 PRINTING FUNCTION DESCRIPTION 
Single image printing 
This function can print an image displayed on the DSC. The image is enlarged and rotated 
to match the paper, but the image aspect ratio is not changed. 
 
Selected image printing 
This function can print two or more images selected from the display on the DSC. If 
landscape and portrait images are mixed in one job, the paper feed direction is fixed 
following the first image direction. 
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) printing 
This function is not available in this machine. 
All image printing 
This function can print all images in the DSC.  
						

							 
B230/B237 6-88  SM 
Index printing 
This function can print all images as thumbnail photos with index format. The size of the 
photos is fixed at 20 mm x 20 mm. 
Paper Size Number of Photos  
A3  192  16 x 12 
A4  96  12 x 8

Letter  80  10 x 8 
B4  140  14 x 10 
 
ƒ  Some digital cameras have a limitation on the maximum number of photos in a 
print job. If the number of photos in a page is more than the maximum photo 
number in a job, a form feed may be inserted between the thumbnail photos.   
Trimming 
This function can print a part of an image by specifying a clip area. 
Multiple number printing 
This function can print multiple images from the same image according to ordered number 
and layout. If the photos are printed with a multiple number printing function, and there are 
an odd number of photos in a page, the photo will not be printed. 
 
ƒ  If a layout is not selected (like 2 up or 4 up for example), each image will be printed 
on one page.   
Example 1: Photo A: 2, Photo B: 3 with 4-up printing 
In this case, Page 2 will not be printed. 
 
Example 2: Photo A: 2, Photo B: 4 with 2-up printing

ƒ  The image is enlarged to match the specified size. 
ƒ  The image is not rotated. 
ƒ  The image aspect ratio is not changed. 
ƒ  If the specified aspect ratio is different from the image aspect ratio, the image aspect 
ratio is automatically adjusted to the specified aspect ratio even this deletes part of the 
image. 
 
ƒ  If the new ratios of height and width magnification are different, the larger 
magnification ratio is used to adjust the image to the specified printing size. 
ƒ  An error occurs if the specified size is larger than the actual paper size.
