c) Job started by entering the password
If the Secured Print job is pending, the display indicating the pending state appears on the job status screen of the panel. If you select this job from the panel, you
are required to enter the password. When the password you entered is same as the password provided from the printer driver, the pending job will be started. When
the password is different, the job is treated as an error, so it is not started and it remains in the pending state. Entering the password to start the job cannot be executed
before the Secured Print job transfers to the pending state.
d) Output
The started Secured Print job is output to the printer engine with the top priority. This top priority means that if the jobs can be changed in priority order, the Secured
Print job can be prioritized. This job is proceeded according to all job information specified by the printer driver, etc., such as paper supply/output, the number of
copies and finishing information. When the processing is completed and all documents are output, the documents and job information stored in the image server
are deleted.
e) Operations for Secured Print jobs
Like other print jobs, Secured Print jobs can be deleted, interrupted, restarted and promoted by operating from the status screen of the print job. Regarding these
operations, the device side does not distinguish from operations of the normal PDL job. That is, the password entry is required only when the job is output. If you
interrupt or restart the job during outputting, the password setting and matching are not conducted.
f) Automatically delete of Secured Print Jobs
When Secured Print Job is continuing being suspended for a long time, apparatus deletes a job automatically.
There are options for automatic job deletion time -- 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours. With a view of security and memory usage, no option longer than 1 day is available.
The elapsed time starts after all the processes for the PDL data and the rendering for all the image data, for which Secured Print is specified, are finished.
g) Specifications and Limitations on Secured Print Jobs
The limitations on Secured Print jobs are listed as follows.
- Once data of a Secured Print job is printed, it is immediately deleted and cannot be printed any more.
