In Printer Features, using the printer driver, you can embed a pattern in the printed copy to discourage or prevent unauthorized copying.
The unauthorized copy prevention function prevents unauthorized copies of documents by embedding a text pattern (for instance, a warning such as "No Copying") that you can set on the print driver (which will appear on printed copies).
Data security for copying prevents document information leaks by graying out copies of documents that were printed with the data security for copying pattern enabled in the printer driver.
However, in order to gray out the security pattern, the Copy Data Security Unit is required for the copier or multi-function printer.
For more information, see the information below.
Unauthorized Copy Prevention
Using the machine, specify the settings to print the pattern. The settings must be specified by the machine administrator. For details about how to configure the setting, see Enabling Pattern Printing.
Using the printer driver, specify the printer settings for unauthorized copy prevention. The settings must be specified by the printer user. For details on how to specify settings for unauthorized copy prevention, see "Printing Documents That Are Not Authorized for Duplication", Print.
Data Security for Copying
Using the machine, specify the settings to print the pattern. The settings must be specified by the machine administrator.
Using the printer driver, specify the printer settings for data security for copying. The settings must be specified by the printer user. For details on how to specify settings on the printer driver, see "Printing Documents That Are Not Authorized for Duplication", Print.
Set the data security for copying function to appear gray when documents with the function are copied, scanned, or stored on the machine. The settings must be specified by the machine administrator. For details on how to specify settings on the machine, see Enabling Detect Data Security for Copying.
