Printing With Settings Disabling Unauthorized Copying
 | When printing documents including personal or confidential information, it is necessary to avoid leaks caused by unauthorized copying by third parties. To prevent unauthorized copying, the machine is equipped with a "Secure Watermark" function that prompts attention by making characters such as "TOP SECRET" appear when reproduced. Also, the "Document Scan Lock" function restricts copying by embedding information with a special code into documents. To use the Secure Watermark and Document Scan Lock functions on the machine, the security printing function of the printer driver must be set first. |
