Direct Printing of PDF Files
Some PDF files can be sent directly to the printer without using a print driver. Direct printing
of PDF files is much easier and faster compared to printing them using a print driver.
You can select from the following modes to print PDF files directly, the one is a mode using
PDF Bridge feature that comes standard with the printer, or the other one is a mode using
PostScript feature.
Set print process mode for PDF files on [Process Mode] of [PDF] on the control panel.

Supported PDF Files
PDF files created on Adobe Acrobat 4 to Adobe Acrobat 9 can be printed on the printer.
Note, however, that the following features are not supported.
• When using PDF Bridge feature: Some features added from PDF 1.5 and later
• When using PostScript: Some features added from PDF 1.7 and later
Although Adobe PDF 1.6 supports PDF Direct Print feature, please note the following
points.
When using PostScript
• PDF1.6 features such as transparent objects are supported, but rendering being
complex, PDF output may take time.
• It does not support the settings for embedding OpenType font in Adobe Acrobat 7
(PDF1.6).
• Although it supports features of PDF1.6 created in Adobe Acrobat 7 and later, it does not
support features of PDF1.7 (Adobe Acrobat 8 and 9).
• Depending on how they are created, some PDF files cannot be printed directly. In that
case, open the files and print them using a print driver.
