- Secure Print -
If your printer has additional memory of 256 MB or above installed, you can use the Secure 
Print feature.
Important
• The data stored in the RAM disk is erased when the printer is switched off.
Secure Print Feature
Secure Print is a feature that allows you to send a password-protected document to the 
printer. The printer then stores the document temporarily, rather than printing it immediately, 
until you manually start the printing from the control panel. The feature can also store 
documents that are not password protected. By storing frequently-used documents in the 
printer, you can print them whenever you want, without having to send them each time from 
your computer.
Note
• Whether or not to delete a Secure Print job after printing it can be specified when you print it from the 
control panel. For more information, refer to "Operations on the Control Panel" (P. 57).
• To use the Secure Print feature, configure the following settings.
- Set [RAM disk] to [Available] on the [Options] tab in the Properties dialog box that is displayed by 
clicking the printer icon. For details, refer to " Changing the Accessory Configuration on the Print 
Driver" (P. 188).
- Set [Admin Menu] > [System Settings] > [RAM disk] to [On] on the control panel.
