3.1 – Document Security
Secure Printing
Secured Print / Encrypted Secured Print*
Encrypted Secured Print and Secured Print are print functions that hold a job in queue until the user enters the appropriate password at the device. This ensures that the user is in close proximity before the document is printed and minimizes unattended papers left at the device. The imageRUNNER ADVANCE system requires the user to set a password in the print driver window when sending a print job from a connected PC. The same password is also required for releasing the job at the device. When using the optional Encrypted Secured Print software, security is further enhanced by using strong encryption to protect the print job data while in transit across the network. On systems equipped with the optional Encrypted Secured Print, administrators can use the print job restriction feature to permit only encrypted print jobs at the designated device.

uniFLOW Secure Print
Exclusive to Canon is the uniFLOW Output Manager Suite, which is optional modular software to reduce costs, improve productivity and enhance security. From a security perspective, uniFLOW Output Manager Suite provides secure printing capabilities by holding jobs at the server until released by the user at any desired imageRUNNER ADVANCE system. From their desktop, users print documents by choosing the uniFLOW server as the printer. At the chosen device, users can be authenticated using a wide variety of supported methods. Users can then access the uniFLOW MEAP client application from the device’s control panel and release their job from their queue of pending documents.
* Requires the Encrypted Secure Print option.
