PRINT-ON-DEMAND

Ever since manufacturers began including hard drives with
their MFPs and printers, they have looked for ways to offer
print-on-demand capabilities.
users can quickly print a document whenever needed,
instead of having to store hardcopy,
The most basic is the ability to store a document in device
memory for instant reprinting from the walk-up control
panel. A growing number of printers and MFPs provide
this.
The other major benefit of print-on-demand is the removal
of the RIPping process when printing large documents
repeatedly. With print-on-demand, the file is stored on the
device in a post-RIPed format, eliminating the spooling
and RIPping process that usually precedes printing. This
saves users time, and reduces the network workload.
With a growing number of devices now supporting direct
Adobe PDF printing, many printers and MFPs now also
support USB direct interface printing. With this feature,
users can simply insert a USB flash memory device
containing a PDF (or other supported file format) into the
device's USB direct interface (usually located on or near
the printer's control panel). The files contained on the
USB flash memory device are then displayed on the
printer's touch or LCD screen. The user simply scrolls
down to the file they would like to print.
Do All Devices Offer the Same Capabilities?
There is a large degree of differentiation between products
and manufacturers in this area. Those interested in print-
on-demand should look carefully at the functionality
offered by each manufacturer.
Areas of differentiation include issues such as the ability to
manage stored files, as well as the ability of users to make
job settings (such as simplex/duplex, paper size, stapling,
etc.). Other systems enable users to combine single files
into one job, while still others enable users to view and
manage stored jobs from a desktop computer utility.
