START Button Request

rmcx — Tue, 04 Aug 2026 16:37:02 GMT

Here's a personal preference issue:

When printing using the manual feeder, I usually preload the paper before starting the print. My desk is several feet from the printer so this involves standing up, loading the paper, going back to the computer and inaugurating the print.

But once my app has started the print process, I've got the standard driver screen telling me to load the paper and go back to the printer to press its START button. Stand up again, go back to the printer again, press the start button.

How about adding a START (OK) button to the on-screen dialog at that point so that I'm saved a trip back to the printer?

Agree it would be helpful. The Windows driver for the Pro-100 has an on-screen button. The macOS driver does not.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature request.

imagePrograf 310. Windows 11. Ethernet connection.

To repeat, when printing from the manual feed, I’m requesting a “Start” button on the driver dialog screen that pops up telling me to “load the paper and then press the OK button on the printer’s console”.

It would save me having to get out of my chair and walk over to the printer.
