Printing at the Same Time as Authentication (ID & Print)

ID & Print

The ID & Print function saves print data in a box on this machine in an environment where user authentication is employed. Because the data is not printed within a short time period, this function prevents printed materials from being missing or left unattended.

Since you need to be authenticated in this machine to print the data saved in the box, this function is suitable for safely printing highly confidential documents. When you are successfully authenticated, the print data of the login user is automatically printed. This enhances security as well as ensures smooth operation.

  • You can specify the action that this machine takes when the ID & Print function is used. For details, refer to Here.

  • You can set a time to delete files automatically from the ID & Print User Box (Default: [1 day]). For details, refer to Here.

  • Select whether to ask the user if they want to delete the file from the ID & Print User Box after it is printed or to always delete the file without making confirmation (Default: [Confirm with User]). For details, refer to Here.
