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 analyse 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.

TL Code:

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.

For the procedures to embed scan lock information and tracking information, see "Document Scan Lock."

The following information can be used with this mode.
