Authorized Send is a security feature that uses an LDAP server in the network to prevent unauthorized e-mails, files, or faxes. With this feature, users are required to authenticate themselves with their own logon information, which is registered to the LDAP server, before sending documents. Authorized Send also enables you to restrict the sending of documents only to registered destinations or completely prohibit users from sending documents.
