This function let you can embed a pattern in the printed copy to discourage or prevent unauthorized copying.
If the Unauthorized Copy Prevention function is enabled, embedded text patterns (for instance, a warning message such as "No Copying") are displayed when documents are copied illegally. Accordingly, unauthorized copying can be prevented.
If the Data Security for Copying function is used and settings for special patterns embedded in documents are enabled, copies of documents with embedded patterns are printed with gray overprint.
Accordingly, information leakage can be prevented. To protect documents by gray overprint, the copier or multi-function printer must be installed with the Copy Data Security Unit.
For more information, see the information below.
