Print Sensitive Information

Printing Sensitive Information

What if I have to print sensitive information that shouldn't sit on the copier? You'll use something called Secure Print.  You must have already set up normal printing using the instructions above.

1. Open the file you need to print securely and click File, Print.
   
   
2. In some applications, such as Preview, you may have to click "Show Details" to choose Secure Print.  Applications like Word do not require this extra step.
   
   
   
3. Select "Output Method" in the Print Dialog drop down.
   
   
4. Change the Output Method from Print to Secure Print.
5. Enter your first name as the Document ID. Enter a temporary password that you will remember at the copier in the Password field.
6. Click OK.
   
   
7. Click Print.
8. On the Printer, select Secure Print.
