Printing a Private Job

The private printing feature lets a user specify that a job is not
printed until that user releases it using a 4-digit Personal
Identification Number (PIN) through the printer’s control panel. The
user specifies the PIN in the driver and it is sent to the printer as
part of the print job.

Note

The private job feature works by using the printer’s available RAM
memory. A minimum of 32 MB of RAM is required.

Specifying a Private Job

To specify that a job is private from the driver, select the Private Job
option and type a 4-digit PIN.

Deleting a Private Job

When a user sends a private job, the printer overwrites any previous
jobs with the same name. A private job is automatically deleted from
the printer’s memory after the user releases it for printing.
