Printing with print data encrypted and password set (Private Print)

When printing private jobs, to prevent others from seeing the printing results of personal and confidential documents, the print data is encrypted and saved with a password in the machine's memory, and it is authenticated and printed from the operator panel.

Because the print data is sent encryptedly, unauthorized access to confidential information can be prevented.

  • If the print data cannot be stored due to insufficient capacity of the memory, a message is displayed indicating that the file system is full and the printing will not be performed.
  • When using a print server for network sharing on this machine, the Windows PCL printer driver cannot use this function in conjunction with the poster printing or booklet printing.

  • To use this function, uncheck [Job Spool].
