Restricting Printing from a Computer

You can also configure the machine so that documents are not printed until the user is authorized on the machine (Printing Documents Held in the Machine). You can also restrict the machine to only print Encrypted Secure Print documents, which can prevent information leakage due to unattended printouts or unprotected print data. Administrator privileges are required in order to configure these settings.

Configuring the Forced Hold Printing Settings

When printing documents from a computer, you can hold print data in the machine and prevent documents from being printed immediately (Printing Documents Held in the Machine). You can configure settings so that printing cannot be performed until the user is authorized on the machine, which ensures greater security and reduces the risk of other people viewing or inadvertently picking up sensitive documents. Administrator privileges are required in order to configure these settings.
