Printing Highly Confidential Documents ([Secure Print])

Secure Print is a function that assigns document ID and password to print data and saves the data to the Secure Print User Box of this machine. This function does not print data immediately, thereby preventing printed materials from being missing or left.

You need to enter the document ID and password on the screen of this machine to print the data saved in a User Box. Therefore, this function is particularly suitable for safely printing highly confidential documents.

If simple printing for secure print document is enabled, the computer login name is used as the document ID for Secure Print, so you can skip the entry of the document ID.

Also, if the computer login name is used as the document ID for Secure Print, it prevents the document ID from being duplicated with that of another user, which simplifies document management on this machine.

When making prints on the machine, the user can display a list of document IDs on the screen of this machine and easily specify the target document ID.

• When simple printing is disabled, the document ID can be specified using up to 16 single-byte characters. If simple printing is enabled, the document ID can be extended to up to 64 double-byte/single-byte characters.
• If simple printing is changed from Enable to Disable when the document ID includes double-byte characters or 17 or more single-byte characters, you cannot work with that document.

A single job enables you to print out a document of up to 2999 pages in length.
