Secure Print

Use this function to select a print document sent from a client computer using the operation screen of a device or a mobile device, and print that document. You can view the list of documents from any device, access the required documents from a nearby device, and securely print them at any time.

Only the user who sent the print job and users with access privileges to the print job (delegate users) can print a stored secure print document. A user logged in to a device can only view a job list for which the user has access privileges.

There are three types of secure printing:

  1. Server Secure Print: uses the SLNX server for authentication, storage, and processing of print jobs

  2. Device Secure Print: uses the SLNX server for authentication and application of print rules to print jobs but uses the hard disk of the local device; and

  3. Client Secure Print: uses SLNX PC Client for authentication, storage, and processing of print jobs. Refer to the SLNX PC Client User Guide.

You can select the function to use according to the SLNX server connection speed.

Server Secure Print

When you send a print job to a shared printer configured for server secure printing, you can have the print job stored on a SLNX server, and select a job from a mobile device or the operation screen of a nearby device to print.

Only the logged-in user and users with access privileges to the document can print a server secure print document.
