The document guard design appears as the security watermark background.
This option prevents the printed page from being photocopied, scanned,
faxed, or printed from memory. If a photocopy is attempted, then gray copy is
produced. If a scan, fax or print from memory is attempted, the process is
stopped and an error message appears on the printing system’s operation
panel.

Select Overprint for applications such as Microsoft PowerPoint and Internet
Explorer where the document content fills the entire page. The security
watermark is printed over the document data so that it can appear in a
photocopy. When editing an image, or if Device Settings > PDL Settings >
GDI compatible mode is selected, Overprint is selected automatically.

Adjust the calibration. After adjusting calibration, in all dialog boxes click OK.
Adjusting Security Watermark Calibration
For a security watermark to be effective, it must be nearly invisible in a printed
page and clearly visible in a photocopied page. Because printing systems and
driver settings can vary, you must adjust the calibration before printing a
security watermark. Adjusting the calibration is also recommended when
changing the background pattern, replacing the toner or printing system, and
after heavy printing activity.

In Advanced > Security Watermark, click Add to create a user defined
security watermark; or under Select security watermark, select a default or
custom security watermark and click Edit.

After all security watermark options are selected in the Add Security
