You can use the following storage types:

  • Locked Print

    Specify a password for the document to store. A password is required to print the document from the control panel, making this suitable for confidential documents. Locked Print jobs will be deleted after they are printed.

    You can also enhance security of the data by encrypting the document when storing it from a computer.

  • Hold Print

    Hold Print jobs will be deleted after they are printed. Hold Print is useful when combining and printing multiple documents or when holding a document temporarily in the machine to print later. You can also specify the time to print a stored document.

  • Stored Print

    Stored Print is useful when printing the same document repeatedly, as the document will not be deleted even after the printing has been completed. You can also print the document immediately and also store the document in the machine, and you can share the document with a user who has sharing privileges.

    You can also enhance security of the data by encrypting the document when storing it from a computer.

    Encrypting the Document when Storing It

    Documents for Stored Print are automatically deleted after 72 hours (3 days). You can change the period until documents are deleted on [Auto Delete Stored Print Jobs] in [Print Jobs].

    Data Management/Maintenance

Using the Document Server

You can view the stored document list for each folder. You can organize documents using folders created to suit your needs. You can also store documents together with the data scanned by the document server function.
