Bizhub 308 does not start printing before receiving all pages of original file

[Takhnamishvili]

Hi all,

Have a strange problem on Bizhub 308. When I want to print for example some document with a number of pages, MFP starts receiving document but does not start printing before all pages are received, only after receiving all of them, it starts printing. Any opinions or suggestions?

Thanks in advance..

go to the printer driver properties, go to advanced it's probably set to "start printing after last page is spooled"

I checked, it's set to "Start Printing Immediately"

Please provide more details what driver? what port ?
should be set to print by ipaddress NOT a WSD port
should be using a pcl driver downloaded from Konica

PCL driver, downloaded from Konicaminolta.eu
Network port, printing by ip address.

P.S. PCL and PS driver gave same result. Also Win 10 and Win 7 gives no difference.

Hi, it's a problem that often happened to me.


I solved this by setting up:
1. Printing Preferences> Quality> Font Type Setting: Image. Also remove "use printer characters" flag.
2. Printing Preferences> Finishing> Paper Layout: Productivity Priority.
3. Disable two-way communication

And that’s your problem. Set it to print after last page is spooled.

Also make sure any button saying “collate” is unticked.

Today I tried these settings and MFP started printing normally, without waiting. Thank you!
