Forced Secure Watermark/Document Scan Lock
0R9W-202
Secure Watermark/Document Scan Lock mode enables you to prevent information leakage. These modes can be set by administrator so that it is always reflected on the output by the general users. (See "Setting Administrators.")
The administrator can set the Secure Watermark/Document Scan Lock mode for all copy and print jobs, and also set whether to use the Secure Watermark/Document Scan Lock mode for each print job from the printer driver.
IMPORTANT
For information on the optional products required to use this function, see "Optional Products Required for Each Function."
The Document Scan Lock mode does not guarantee restriction of unauthorized copying. You may not be able to restrict unauthorized copying or analyze tracking information, depending on the combination of settings and the output, such as a document with an image on the entire page.
Please note that Canon will not be held responsible for any damages caused by the use of the Document Scan Lock mode or the inability to use the Document Scan Lock mode.
Secure Watermark
This mode enables you to embed text, such as "CONFIDENTIAL," the date and time, or custom characters on the output so that the embedded text appears when the copies are copied. You can prevent unauthorized copying by the third party because you can distinguish between the original and copies of originals.
Original
Copy A
(Secure Watermark Is Set)
Copy B
(Copy of Copy A)

Document Scan Lock
This mode enables you to embed scan lock information and tracking information on the copies/prints to restrict job operation. When the output with embedded information is scanned, the machine restricts operation according to the specified settings of embedded scan lock information.
With this settings, you can restrict unauthorized copying/printing, and also analyze embedded information on the output and find out who, when, and with which machine the copy or print was made.
You can embed these information using the TL code.
Original
Copy/Print
Output
The dots are printed in the background of output.
A TL code is a type of 2-dimensional bar code. A TL code is printed and by changing the arrangement of the dots, digital information is embedded on the output.
The following information can be used with this mode.
Scan Lock Information
When the output with embedded scan lock information is scanned, the machine detects embedded information and restricts unauthorized copying and printing.

Copy/Print
Copy/Send/Store
Specify the detailed settings for embedding information beforehand such as whether to set the machine always prohibit copying and printing the document with embedded scan lock information. (See "Document Scan Lock Settings.")
Tracking Information
You can embed tracking information such as date/time, user name, and device name for the job operation.
You can analyze embedded tracking information on the output, and find out who, when, and with which machine the document was output. The information analyzing tool is required to analyze tracking information. For more information, see "Document Scan Code Analyzer for MEAP" in the manual.
You can analyze embedded tracking information in the TL code printed on the output, and find out who, when, and with which machine the document was output. The information analyzing tool is required to analyze tracking information.
