Print Confidential Document - Secure Print

When the optional hard disk or compact flash has been installed, you can use the secure print feature.
Important:
The hard disk may be damaged and erase important data
saved in the hard disk. We recommend you back up your data.

About Secure Print

Secure Print is a feature that allows you to attach a password to a print job on the computer, send it to the printer for temporary storage, and then print the job from the printer control panel. When the printing of a Secure Print job is complete, the job is automatically deleted.

Stored Job

A stored job is the same as a secure print job except that it is not deleted from the storage device after it is printed. By storing frequently-used data in the printer, you can print the job from the printer control panel, without sending it from the computer again and again.
NOTE
> You can select whether to delete the print data after
printing. For details, refer to “ At the Control Panel” (P. 29).
