Sending a Job
1. Launch the Web Browser.

3. Click on Pull Printing.
4. Enter a File Location or URL in the Browser frame.
To print a web page, type the URL in the text entry field.
Typing "http://" in front of the URL is not required.
To print a local file, type the drive, path and name of the
file in the text entry field, or use the Browse button to
select a file. The drive and full path must be specified. If
the plug-in for that particular type of file has been
installed on the secondary server, the file is rendered and
sent to the printer. If the plug-in is not installed, you will
be notified.
5. Make any settings changes in the Properties frame.
6. Click Send File for Printing or Send URL for Printing.
The job will be rendered by the Pull Printing server and

Changing Properties and Saving Settings
The Properties frame functions in the same way as the local
printer drivers described in Chapter 4. You simply point and
click to change settings for your print job. Click on any tab to
view more settings.
With Pull Printing, you can save different preferences for
each printer you use. If you are accepting cookies, the
property settings, along with any watermarks you may have
created, will be saved upon sending the print job. The next
time you pull print to that particular printer, the property
pages will preset to match your previous preferences.
Viewing the Print Queue
The Print Queue frame lists jobs that are either waiting to be
rendered by the secondary server or waiting in the status
monitor to be sent to the printer. A job disappearing from the
print queue does not signify that your job is done printing. If
the print job is large, there may be a significant delay from
the time a job is sent to the printer to when it is printed.
You can distinguish your print job from others if you accept
the PrintAgent cookies. Your print job will display the name
of the file or URL you sent, while other print jobs will show

only the URL of the printer to which the job will be sent. To
see which printer your jobs will be sent to, place the mouse
over the icon next to your print job. The name of the printer
will be displayed, along with the name of the file or URL of
the web page. It will also signify whether your job is waiting
to be rasterized or has already been sent to the status
monitor.
Canceling a Job
You can cancel a print job before it is rendered as long as you
are accepting cookies. To cancel, click on the print job in the
Print Queue frame. You will see a yellow highlight around
the text. Click the Cancel button. After it is sent to the
secondary server, the job can only be canceled using the the
Admin dialog box from the NEC PrintAgent window.

NEC PrintAgent window. The animated printer image shows
