Locked Print

Use this function to maintain privacy when printing confidential documents on the printer over a shared network. Usually, it is possible to print data using the display panel once it is stored in this printer. When using Locked Print, it is not possible to print unless a password is entered on the printer's display panel. Your confidential documents will be safe from being viewed by other people.

If you are using a printer with ELP-NX installed, all print jobs for which "Normal Print" or "Locked Print" is specified are stored in ELP-NX when user authentication is set. After issuing the print command from the printer driver, log in to ELP-NX and print the job.
If you are using a printer with ELP-NX installed, all print jobs for which "Locked Print" is specified are stored in ELP-NX when user authentication is not set. Also note that any jobs for which "Locked Print" is not specified will be deleted according to the default setting of ELP-NX.
For details about how to print using ELP-NX, see the manuals provided with the application.
For details about the option settings of ELP-NX, consult your administrator.
A Locked Print file cannot be stored if:
- the hard disk is not installed in the printer.
- the total number of Sample Print, Locked Print, Hold Print, and Stored Print files in the printer is over 100. (The maximum number varies depending on the volume of data in files.)
- the file contains over 1,000 pages.
- sent or stored files in the printer contain over 9,000 pages in total.

If a Locked Print file has not been stored properly, check the error log in the control panel.
Even after you turn off the printer, stored documents remain. However, the [Auto Delete Temporary Jobs] or [Auto Delete Stored Jobs] settings are applied first.
If the application has a collate option, make sure it is not selected before sending a print job. Locked Print jobs are automatically collated by the printer driver as default. If a collate option is selected in the application print dialog box, more sets than intended may be printed.
After the Locked Print file is printed, the job is automatically deleted.
Locked Print files printed or deleted using Web Image Monitor, after you select [Locked Print] using the control panel will appear on the display panel. However, an error message will appear if you try to print or delete those Locked Print files.
For details about the error log in the display panel, see Checking the Error Log.
