Enabling Pattern Printing

Using a web browser from networked computers, you can enable embedded pattern printing to discourage or prevent unauthorized copying. (We use Web Image Monitor installed on this machine.)

Open a web browser from a networked computer, and then log in to Web Image Monitor as the machine administrator.

For details on how to log in, see Administrator Login Method.

Point to [Device Management], and then click [Configuration].

Click [Unauthorized Copy Prevention: Printer] under "Device Settings".

Select [On] for "Unauthorized Copy Prevention Setting".

In "Compulsory Unauthorized Copy Prevention", select whether to set the embedded pattern using the printer driver or the machine's control panel.

[Driver/Command]
You can specify all embedded pattern settings using the printer driver.
[Driver/Command (Most Settings)]
You can use the printer driver to specify all embedded pattern settings except for the type and density of the embedded pattern.
[Machine Setting(s)]
You cannot specify embedded pattern settings by the printer driver. The embedded pattern specified using the machine's control panel will be printed.

Click [OK].

Log out.
