Setting the Secure Printing Function

Secure Printing enables you to hold your print jobs until the appropriate password is entered at the machine. This way, confidential documents are not left lying on the machine’s output tray.
Set the timeout period (or hold time) for the secure print jobs so that they can be automatically discarded from the machine’s memory after the timeout period elapses. You can also set the machine to accept only the secure print jobs when documents are printed from a computer.
