Secure Printing at SDN (lock your print job with a passcode)
“Secure Print” allows you to control the print timing of your documents. Enter the passcode to send a job to print. Then, the printer holds the job until you enter the same pass code at the device, releasing it to print. This way, your print job won’t come out while someone else is trying to use the machine. This is very handy to print confidential documents or control the print timings.
