Managing Locked Print Files

Depending on the location of the machine, it might be difficult to prevent unauthorized persons from viewing prints loaded in the machine's output trays. When printing confidential documents, use the Locked Print function.

Locked Print

The Locked Print function is available only when the optional hard disk is installed.

Using the machine's Locked Print function, you can store files in the machine as Locked Print files. Then, print the files from the control panel and retrieve them immediately, so that others do not view them. Confidential documents can be printed regardless of the user authentication settings. For details about how to use the Locked Print function, see "Printing a Locked Print file", Print.

Note

  • To store files temporarily, select [Stored Print] in the printer driver. If you select [Stored Print (Shared)], you can also share these files.
