Printing Confidential Jobs
If you want to print a job that you do not want anyone else to see,
the printer can hold your job in memory until you arrive at the
printer.
NOTE: This only works with custom printer drivers. These drivers are
located on the drivers CD that shipped with your printer.
To print a confidential job:
1 In your word processor, spreadsheet, browser, or other
application, select File Print.
2 Click Properties (or Options, Printer, or Setup depending
on the application) to view the printer driver settings.
3 Click Help and refer to the topic “Confidential print” or
“Print and hold.” Follow the instructions.
NOTE: If you send a large file to a shared network printer, it remains in
the printer memory until you print it. This could prevent others from
printing. Retrieve your print jobs as soon as possible. To check the
amount of memory in your printer, see Printing a menu settings page.
4 Go to the printer and use the operator panel to access your
confidential print job:
a Press the right arrow on the Menu button once.
Confidential Job is displayed. Press Select.

press Select.
c Enter your four-digit personal identification number
(PIN) using the numbered buttons on the operator
panel. As you enter your PIN, asterisks appear on the

then press Select.
