Unauthorized Copy Control
To prevent unauthorized copying, you can embed patterns and text beneath the print. You do not need a special
paper to use this function. If a paper with text or image patterns is copied by a copier or a multi-function printer,
either the patterns are printed vividly or the copy is grayed out, so as to protect the information on the original
from leaking. To print with protection against unauthorized copying, you can use [Data security for copying] and
[Mask type:].
z
This function is designed to discourage copying confidential documents; it does not prevent unauthorized use of information.
z
The last blank page of booklet or duplex-printed documents that contain uneven page numbers can also be stamped. For example, when
booklet or duplex printing a fifteen-page document, the sixteenth page (blank) can also be stamped.
z
To not stamp the last page, on the [Printer Configuration] tab, set [Spool format:] to [RAW].
Using [Data security for copying]
You can embed a pattern by setting in the printer driver.
