Printing a Document Secured by a PIN (Secured Print)

By setting a PIN to a document when printing from a computer, the document is held in an optional SD card installed on the machine, and is not printed until the correct PIN is entered on the operation panel of the machine. This function is called "Secured Print," and the document that is protected by a PIN is called a "secured document." Using Secured Print keeps printouts of confidential documents from being left unattended. Before you can use this function, you need to install an optional SD card on the machine (Installing an SD Card).
