Printing Documents that Are Not Authorized for Duplication

You can embed text and patterns under printed text to prevent unauthorized copying of the document. Unauthorized Copy Prevention consists of two functions: Unauthorized Copy Prevention for Pattern and Data Security for Copying. This function is available for the PCL 6 printer drivers and PostScript 3 printer driver.

Unauthorized Copy Prevention can be configured in the printer driver, Web Image Monitor, or on the control panel of this printer.

Important

  • Unauthorized Copy Prevention may not prevent information leaks in all cases.

  • If Unauthorized Copy Prevention is specified on the control panel of this printer or in Web Image Monitor, the text and image patterns for Unauthorized Copy Prevention are embedded in the printed document regardless of the printer driver settings.

Note

  • For details about how to specify Unauthorized Copy Prevention on the control panel, see Security Guide.

  • For details about how to specify Unauthorized Copy Prevention in Web Image Monitor, see Web Image Monitor Help.
