Secure Print Methods

Secure Print improves security and also reduces misprinting and non-essential printing to help reduce printing costs. For example, it can be used in the following cases:

  • When you want to print a document while you are standing by the device because it is confidential and should not be left on the output tray after printing
  • When you store a document on the server for a meeting on another floor or separated office, so that you can print the required number of copies using the device located at the meeting site
  • When you store a document to share it among project members by specifying them as delegate users

There are three methods available when configuring Secure Print. The configuration choice lies in how and where authentication is controlled, if print rules are applied and where storage of print jobs occurs.
