Printing PDF Files Using PDF Bridge (Windows Only)
The printer has the PDF Bridge feature, which enables you to print PDF files directly without a print driver. Printing
PDF files without a print driver is much easier and faster when compared to printing with a print driver. This section
describes how to print PDF files using PDF Bridge.
This section includes:
• "Supported PDF Files" on page 137
• "Using the ContentsBridge Utility" on page 137
• "Using the Commands" on page 137
Supported PDF Files
PDF files created on the following versions of Adobe
®
Acrobat
®
can be printed using PDF Bridge.
• Adobe Acrobat 5.X (excluding some of the features added to PDF1.4)
• Adobe Acrobat 6.X (excluding some of the features added to PDF1.5)
• Adobe Acrobat 7.X (excluding some of the features added to PDF1.6)
NOTE:
• Some PDF files cannot be printed depending on how they are created. In such case, open the files and print them using a
print driver.
Using the ContentsBridge Utility
The ContentsBridge Utility is software that enables direct printing of PDF files by simply dragging and dropping files
onto the icon. To use the ContentsBridge Utility, refer to the manual included on the Driver CD Kit.
Using the Commands
You can also print PDF files using the lpr or ftp command. When you print using these commands, the following PDF
settings on the operator panel become effective.
• Quantity
• 2-Sided Print
• Print Mode
• Password
• Collated
• Output Size
• Layout
NOTE:
• When you print using the lpr command, the print quantity must be set also using lpr command. In such case, the Quantity
setting on the operator panel becomes invalid. If you do not specify the quantity using the lpr command, the printer recognizes
the quantity as "1 set".
• To print PDF files using the lpr or ftp command, you must enable the printer's LPD or FTP port using the operator panel or
CentreWare Internet Services (default: Enable).
