Using [Data security for copying]

If a document printed with data security for copying is copied by or stored in the Document Box of a copier or multi-function printer with the copy data security unit, the copy or stored file is grayed out. This section explains how to specify the printer driver setting for printing using [Data security for copying].

Printing a document using [Data security for copying]

This machine can print only as described in Step 1.

The pattern and text you have set is printed.
a: Text
b: Pattern
The document is copied to the machine that the Copy Data Security unit is installed.
The document is blanked by gray overprint.

You cannot partially embed a pattern and text in a document.
To make the embedded pattern clear, set the character size at least 50 pt (preferably 70 to 80 pt) and character angle to between 30 and 40 degrees.
Use 182 257 mm (7¹/₄ 10¹/₂) or larger paper.
Use ordinary or recycled paper that has at least 70% whiteness.
Duplex printing may interfere with the function due to text and patterns being visible through the paper.
Printing with background patterns and text may be slower than normal printing.
To use this function, set [Print Quality] to [Quality priority].
