Saving Print Data in the Box on This Machine ([Save in User Box])
Save in User Box
The Save in User Box function saves print data in a box on this machine. You can also print the data at the same time as it is being saved in the box.
You can use multiple User Boxes for different purposes, for example:
By saving data in a box that all users can access (Public Box) or in a box that the members of a specific department can access (Group Box), you can distribute the data.
By saving data in the private box (Personal Box), you can assure security because only you can open the box. The data in the box is not deleted by mistake.
Operations required to use this function
Register the boxes for storing print data on this machine.
For information on the procedure for registering boxes, refer to Here.
You can also register boxes using Web Connection. For details, refer to Here.
How to print from the computer
In [Output Method:] in the [Output Method] window, select [Save in User Box].
When you want to print the data at the same time it is saved in the box, select [Save in User Box/Print].
Enter the file name and the box number of the save location, click [OK].
Use a file name that helps you locate the data in the box.
When the [Save Settings] check box is selected, the settings are saved. When the [Do not show this window when setting] check box is selected, this dialog box is not displayed next time. If you always use the same file name and box number, selecting this check box eliminates the need for entering them each time.

To print a highly confidential document ([Secure Print])
Printing Highly Confidential Documents ([Secure Print])
Secure Print
The Secure Print function allows you to set a document ID and a password for print data and to save the data in a box (Secure Print User Box) on this machine. Because the data is not printed soon, this function prevents printed materials from being missing or left unattended.
Since you need to enter the document ID and password from the Touch Panel to print the data saved in the box, this function is particularly suitable for safely printing highly confidential documents.
How to print from the computer
A single job allows you to print out a document of up to 2999 pages in length.
In [Output Method:] in the [Output Method] window, select [Secure Print].
Enter the document ID and password, then click [OK].
When the [Save Settings] check box is selected, the settings are saved. When the [Do not show this window when setting] check box is selected, this dialog box is not displayed next time. If you always use the same document ID and password, selecting this check box eliminates the need for entering them each time.

Printing in the Environment with User Authentication Installed
To add authentication information
Attaching Authentication Information
Printing when authentication is set
When printing a document in an environment where user authentication or account track is employed, you need to send the authentication information (user name and password) to this machine to execute printing. This requirement limits the users who can use this machine, preventing unauthorized use by a third party.
When this machine receives a print job from a user who is not allowed to print or a print job without authentication information, this machine automatically discards the job.
A print job without authentication information is a print job that is sent without correctly configuring the User Authentication/Account Track setting using the printer driver even though the User Authentication/Account Track setting is configured on this machine.
If [Print] in [Output Method:] is selected while the [User Authentication]/[Account Track] check box is cleared on the [Output Method] window of the printer driver, the print job is considered as a print job without authentication information.
When printing a highly confidential document in an environment where user authentication or account track is employed, using the ID & Print function enables high security printing. For details, refer to Here.
If the quick authentication is installed, you can start printing by authentication with only the user name but without password entry. How to configure the setting is explained using Web Connection. For details, refer to Here.
How to print from the computer
In the [Output Method] window, select the [User Authentication] check box (and the [Account Track] check box).
When user authentication is enabled, select [Recipient User], enter the user name and password, then click [OK].
When this machine is accessible to public users (unregistered users), selecting [Public User] enables you to execute printing without entering the user name and password.
When an external authentication server is used, click [User Authentication Server Setting...], then select the authentication method and authentication server. To perform MFP authentication when external server authentication is used together, specify the MFP as an authentication server.
When the [Save Settings] check box is selected, the settings are saved. When the [Do not show this window when setting] check box is selected, this dialog box is not displayed next time. If you always use the same user name and password, selecting this check box eliminates the need for entering them each time.
If account track is enabled, enter the account name and password, then click [OK].
When the [Save Settings] check box is selected, the settings are saved. When the [Do not show this window when setting] check box is selected, this dialog box is not displayed next time. If you always use the same account name and password, selecting this check box eliminates the need for entering them each time.
Execute printing.
Printing starts successfully when the authentication information is judged correct.
To print a highly confidential document ([ID&Print])
Printing at the Same Time as Authentication ([ID&Print])
ID & Print
The ID & Print function saves print data in the ID & Print User Box of this machine in an environment where user authentication is installed. Because the data is not printed soon, this function prevents printed materials from being missing or left unattended.
Since you need to be authenticated in this machine to print the data saved in the box, this function is suitable for safely printing highly confidential documents. When you are successfully authenticated, the print data of the login user is automatically printed. This enhances security as well as ensures smooth operation.
