Copy Security with Forced Scan Lock
You can implement security measures such as Document Scan Lock to help prevent unauthorized copying and information leakage. This mode can be set by administrator so that it is always reflected on the output by the general users.
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 the information using the TL code.
