Storing a Locked Print File to the Machine

You can store a document in the memory of the machine by printing the document using the printer driver. It can be printed or deleted from the control panel later.

Use this function to maintain privacy when printing confidential documents on the machine over a shared network. Usually, it is possible to print data using the control panel once it is stored in this machine. When using Locked Print, it is not possible to print unless a password is entered on the control panel. Your confidential documents will be safe from being viewed by other people. For details about printing methods, see Printing a Locked Print File Using Quick Print Release.

    • The number of pages in a document exceeds 50.

    • The total number of stored pages in the machine and the sent data has reached 50 (It may be fewer depending on the print data).
