Printing Highly Confidential Documents ([Secure Print])

Secure Print

The Secure Print function allows you to set a document ID and a password for print data and to save the data in a box (Secure Print User Box) on this machine. Because the data is not printed soon, this function prevents printed materials from being missing or left unattended.

Since you need to enter the document ID and password from the Touch Panel to print the data saved in the box, this function is particularly suitable for safely printing highly confidential documents.

  • You can limit printing from the computer only to Secure Print. (Default: [No]). For details, refer to Here.

Enabling simple printing for secure print document (for the administrator)

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 Control Panel and easily specify the target document ID.

To enable simple printing for secure print document, configure the following settings.

  • Select [Utility] - [Administrator Settings] - [System Settings] - [User Box Settings], then set [Security Document Setting] to [Release Secure Print] (default: [Do Not Release Secure Print]).

  • In [Device Option] of the [Configure] tab of the printer driver, set [Security Document Setting] to [Release Secure Print] (default: [Do Not Release Secure Print]). For details on [Device Option], refer to Here.

  • When simple printing is disabled, the document ID can be specified using up to 16 characters. If simple printing is enabled, the document ID can be extended to up to 64 characters.

  • If simple printing is changed from Enable to Disable while the document ID is specified using 17 or more characters, it will cause document operations to fail.

Printing in the Environment with User Authentication Installed

To add authentication information

Attaching Authentication Information

Printing when authentication is set

When printing a document in an environment where user authentication or account track is employed, you need to send the authentication information (user name and password) to this machine to execute printing. This requirement limits the users who can use this machine, preventing unauthorized use by a third party.

When this machine receives a print job from a user who is not allowed to print or a print job without authentication information, this machine automatically discards the job.

  • A print job without authentication information is a print job that is sent without correctly configuring the User Authentication/Account Track setting using the printer driver even though the User Authentication/Account Track setting is configured on this machine.
    The status in which the User Authentication/Account Track setting is not configured correctly means that the [Auto] check box of [Obtain Settings...] is cleared and [User Authentication]/[Account Track] of [Device Option] is set to [None] in the [Configure] tab of the [Properties] windows of the printer driver. If a print job is executed in this status by selecting [Print] in [Output Method] of the [Basic] tab at the time of printing, it is considered as a print job without authentication information.

  • You can specify the action that this machine takes when it receives a print job without authentication information (Default: [Restrict]). If printing is allowed, the unregistered user or account can execute printing even despite the intention of the administrator. If there is any problem on security or management, you should not change the initial settings. For details, refer to Here.

  • When printing a highly confidential document in an environment where user authentication or account track is employed, using the ID & Print function enables high security printing. For details, refer to Here.

  • If the quick authentication is installed, you can start printing by authentication with only the user name but without password entry. How to configure the setting is explained using Web Connection. For details, refer to Here.
