Encrypting the Print Data and Setting a Password Before Printing (Private Print) (Except MC363)

With the private print function, you can encrypt and password-protect private documents or confidential documents and store to the machine to prevent other people from seeing them, and then authenticate on the operator panel before printing them.

Since the print jobs are encrypted before sending, you can protect confidential information from injustice access.

Note

  • If you cannot store the spooled data due to insufficient free space in the internal memory of this machine, a message is displayed to inform you that the file system is full, and the print job is not executed.

  • You cannot use this function with the poster printing function and the booklet printing function with the Windows PCL printer driver if you share this machine via the print server.

  • When you use this function, clear the [Job Spool] check box.
