the printer driver. You can print a file stored on your computer by specifying it using Web Connection.
This function is available for file types PDF, Compact PDF, JPEG, TIFF, XPS, Compact XPS, Open XPS,
OOXML (.docx/.xlsx/.pptx), and PPML (.ppml/.vdx/.zip).
Tips
- However, the encrypted PDF file cannot be printed.
- Application software programs that offer the same function as Direct Print of Web Connection through
simpler operations include Direct Print. Features such as printing through drag-and-drop to the desk-
top icon, printing using the [Send To] menu in Windows, and automatic printing using a hot folder (print
monitoring folder) are available. You can also register multiple job settings in which print settings are
configured. Direct Print can be downloaded from the utility software download page that is displayed
