Printing a Document Secured with a PIN (Secure Print)
With Secure Print, you can set a PIN to a document on the computer and send that document to the machine to be printed. Printing is performed after that PIN is entered on the machine.
Secure Print can prevent unattended printed documents and information theft. You can also confirm the print data before printing to prevent unwanted printing.

The print data sent with a PIN (secure data) is temporarily saved in the memory of the machine. If printing is not performed after a set period of time, the secure data is deleted automatically from the memory, and you can no longer print the data.

Step 1: Sending Secure Data from a Computer
You can send secure data from a computer to the machine using a printer driver.
In Windows, you can send encrypted secure data (using Encrypted Secure Print), thereby preventing eavesdropping during communication. Secure data is encrypted with an alphanumeric password instead of a PIN.
For details about sending secure data using the Encrypted Secure Print function, see the manual of the driver at the online manual site.
