Locked Print
Use this function to maintain privacy when printing confidential docu- ments on the machine over a shared network. Usually, it is possible to print data using the control panel once the data is stored in this ma- chine. When using Locked Print, it will not be possible to print unless a password is entered on the machine's control panel. Your confidential doc- uments will be safe from viewing by other people.
Note
❒If the application has a collate op- tion, make sure that it is not select- ed before sending a print job. Locked print jobs are automatical- ly collated by the printer driver as default. If a collate option is select- ed from the application print dia- log box, more sets than intended may be printed.
❒You can identify the file you want to print by User ID and date and time when the job was stored.

❒After the locked print file is print- ed, the job is automatically deleted.
❒Turning off the machine's main power switch deletes the locked print file.
