Overview of This Function
You can print out documents (print data) that have been assigned a password and sent to this machine from a computer. Documents with a password are called "secured documents." Secured documents sent to this machine are displayed with a locked document icon (
) in the job list in the touch panel display, and are queued for printing. To print these documents, you need to enter the correct password. This prevents unauthorized people who do not know the password from printing or accessing the documents.
If you use the optional Encrypted Secure Print Software, you can print out documents (print data) that have been encrypted and sent to this machine from a computer. Print data that is encrypted using this function is called "encrypted secured documents." Since the data is encrypted, security is enhanced at the queued stage. Encrypted secured documents sent to this machine are displayed with a locked document icon with a dotted pattern (
) in the job list in the touch panel display, and are queued for printing. To print these documents, you need to enter the correct password. This prevents unauthorized people who do not know the password or are not logged in from printing or accessing the documents.
Document data is encrypted before being sent to this machine. This allows you to print within a more highly secured environment compared to a secured document.
