Setting the Document Scan Lock Mode (TL Code)

The Administrator can specify the TL code for the Forced Document Scan Lock mode and the Printer Driver Document Scan Lock mode.

Forced Document Scan Lock mode:
TL code is always embedded for copy and print jobs by general users.

Printer Driver Document Scan Lock mode:
You can select whether to embed TL Code for each print job which is operated by general users from the printer driver.

When using the TL code, you can embed tracking information that enables you to analyze by whom, when, and with which machine the document was output.

For information on the optional products required to use this function, see "Optional Products Required for Each Function."

IMPORTANT
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.
