You can use the following storage types:

  • Locked Print

    Specify a password for the document to store. A password is required to print the document from the control panel, making this suitable for confidential documents.

    On machines installed with RICOH Always Current Technology v1.2 or later, you can also enhance security of the data by encrypting the document when storing it from a computer.

  • Hold Print

    Hold Print jobs will be deleted after they are printed. Hold Print is useful when combining and printing multiple documents or when holding a document temporarily in the machine to print later. You can also specify the time to print a stored document.

  • Stored Print

    Stored Print is useful when printing the same document repeatedly, as the document will not be deleted even after the printing has been completed. You can also print a document and store it in the machine at the same time or share a document by giving access privileges to other users.

    On machines installed with RICOH Always Current Technology v1.2 or later, you can also enhance security of the data by encrypting the document when storing it from a computer.
