Document Scan Lock (TL Code)
This section describes the Document Scan Lock settings using a TL code.
By using a TL code, you can embed scan lock information on the output to restrict unauthorized copying. You can also embed tracking information on the output.
Scan Lock Information (TL Code)
You can embed TL code on the output to restrict unauthorized copying. You can select the following four types of restriction.
Allow All
The output can be copied.
Prohibit All
Copying of outputs is restricted. You cannot copy an output for which Prohibit All is detected.
Password Authentication
Copying of outputs is restricted. You can copy only if the authentication process is successful.
User Authentication
Copying of outputs is restricted. Can be set if Department ID Management or User Authentication is set. You can copy only if the Department ID or user name matches. You can copy only if the Department ID or user name matches.

NOTE

When copying documents set with [Password Auth.] or [User Authentication], the embedded information on the first page is used for authentication. In the following case, the job will be cancelled:
When the embedded information on the first page differs from the embedded information on the second and subsequent pages (for example, when copying a document with the password '1234567' embedded on the first page, and the password '9876543' embedded on the second page).
