There are many possibilities for information leakage relating to documents and data handling, such as forgetting to pick up printed documents.

By using functions such as the Secure Watermark mode to prevent unauthorized copying or restricting the Print function to only Encrypted Secure Print, you can proactively reduce the risks of information leakage caused by human error.

By specifying restrictions on the display of the Status Monitor/Cancel screen on the touch panel display of the machine, you can prevent unauthorized use of the machine or browsing by unauthorized users.

The following modes can be set by administrator so that it is always reflected on the output by the general users.

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 prints are copied. You can prevent unauthorized copying by the third party because you can distinguish between the original and copies of originals. (See "Forced Secure Watermark/Document Scan Lock.")

This mode enables you to restrict (which means to lock) the scan job of the document when copying or printing.

Using the TL code, you can embed scan lock information on the background of the copies/prints. Scan lock information controls the operational condition how the machine restricts scan jobs.

When the output with embedded scan lock information is scanned, the machine detects embedded information and restricts unauthorized copying and printing.

You can also embed tracking information such as the user name, date/time, and device name for the operation job. By scanning the output, you can analyze the embedded information on the output and find out by whom, when, and with which machine the copy or print was made.

Also, you can embed Secure Watermark on the output so that the embedded text appears when the document is copied or printed. (See "Forced Secure Watermark/Document Scan Lock.")

The Encrypted Secure Print is a mode that strengthens the security by encrypting print data on a computer and decoding the encryption on the machine. This mode helps prevent the contents of your printed documents from being seen by other users and prevent leakage of confidential information. For instructions on using Secured Print and Encrypted Secure Print, see "Secure Print" or information on the optional products required to use Encrypted Secure Print, see "Optional Products Required for Each Function."

Also, you can set the machine to only receive encrypted secured print jobs from computers.

With this setting, you can prevent leaving behind or losing outputs since output is only possible when the password is entered. (See "Accepting Only Encrypted Secure Printing.")

You can restrict the browsing and the use of the Status Monitor/Cancel screen by specifying settings for each function. (See "Setting the Control Panel Display.")
