Print Confidential Documents Using Secure Print

Use Secure Print to print sensitive or confidential information. After you send the job, it is held at the printer until you enter your passcode at the printer control panel.

To print using Secure Print:

1. On the Paper/Output tab, from the Job Type list, select Secure Print.
2. In the Secure Print window, type a passcode in the Passcode field. You are required to enter this passcode when you print the job from the control panel.
3. In the Confirm Passcode field, type the passcode again.

   Notes:

   • If you do not supply a passcode, the printer assigns a passcode and displays it in the Passcode Required window. Use this passcode to print the document at the printer, or click Cancel and type your own passcode to use in the Secure Print window.
   • The passcode is associated with your user name. After you set a passcode, it becomes the default passcode for any print job that requires a passcode on all Xerox® printers. You can reset the passcode at any time from any window that contains the passcode.

4. Click OK.
5. Select a Paper Size.
   1. Click the arrow to the right of the Paper summary and select Other Size.
   2. Select a size option for Output Paper Size.

      Select from the paper sizes supported by your printer. Mixed Size Output allows you to use different paper sizes in one job when paper sizes are set in the application instead of the driver.

      To print mixed-sized originals as mixed-sized output:

      1. Click Output Paper Size and select Mixed Size Output.
      2. Click Original Document Size and select Mixed Size Document. This option does not apply paper size constraints to the print job.

      To print mixed-sized originals as single-sized output:

      1. In Output Paper Size, select the paper size.
      2. In Original Document Size, select Mixed Size Document.

      • New allows you to specify a new custom paper size in the New Custom Size window.
      • Edit allows you to edit a custom paper size after selecting it from the Output Paper Size menu.
      • Delete removes the selected custom paper size after you select it from the Paper Size menu. If you delete the custom size here, it is also deleted from paper size options available on the Paper/Output tab.

   3. Select a scaling option if the selected Original Document Size differs from the selected Output Paper Size. After selecting a scaling option, select an anchor point for the page image from the second Scaling Option list.

      Select a scaling option to reduce or enlarge the original document to match the selected output paper size:

      • Automatically Scale scales the document to fit the selected Output Paper Size. The scaling amount appears in the percentage box below the sample image.
      • No Scaling does not change the size of the page image printed on the output paper, and 100% appears in the percentage box. If the original size is larger than the output size, the page image is cropped. If the original size is smaller than the output size, extra space appears around the page image.
      • Manually Scale scales the document by the amount entered in the percentage box below the preview image.

      The anchor menu sets the page anchor point. The anchor point controls the placement of the page image on the paper. When the anchor point is set, the sample image reflects the selection.

   4. If not already set, select the size of the original document from the Original Document Size menu.
   5. Select the desired page orientation from the Original Document Orientation list.

      Select the desired orientation for the page image on the paper. The sample image changes to reflect your selection. Options include:

      • Portrait orients the paper so that the text and images print across the short dimension of the paper.
      • Landscape orients the paper so that the text and images print across the long dimension of the paper.
      • Rotated Landscape orients the paper so that the content is rotated 180 degrees and with the long bottom side up.
   6. Click OK.
6. Select a Paper Color.

   Click the arrow to the right of the Paper summary, select Other Color, and select from paper colors that your printer supports. In addition to the standard colors listed, the following options are available:

   • Automatically Select Color allows the printer to select the tray for the print job based on selected paper attributes other than paper color.
   • Custom Color [#] identifies a custom paper color defined at the printer control panel.
   • Other Color prints to any color of paper without defining it each time at the printer control panel.

   To use Other Color > Other Color:

   1. Program Other Color at the printer as a paper color option and load the colored paper in the tray.
   2. Select Other Color > Other Color from the Paper menu in the print driver. If your selection is not present in any of the trays, a paper mismatch message appears.
   3. Select other desired printing options and click OK.

   Note: You can select the paper for your print job using Select By Tray.

   Use Select By Tray to print from a specific tray without specifying paper attributes in the print driver or on the printer control panel. This option prints the job from the selected tray, even when more than one tray contains the correct paper for the job.

   Select an option:

   • Automatically Select allows the printer to print using any tray loaded with the size and type of paper required for the print job.
   • Tray 1 is the manual feed tray. The printer prompts you to remove any other paper from the tray and load the paper for your job.

8. Select an option for 2-Sided Printing.
   • 1-Sided Print prints on one side of the media. Use this option when printing on transparencies, envelopes, labels, or other media that cannot be printed on both sides.
   • 2-Sided Print prints the job on both sides of the paper to allow binding on the long edge of the paper. The following illustrations show the result for documents with portrait and landscape orientations, respectively:

   

   • 2-Sided Print, Flip on Short Edge prints on both sides of the paper. The images print to allow binding on the short edge of the paper. The following illustrations show the result for documents with portrait and landscape orientations, respectively:

9. If your printer has a finisher installed, select a stapling option. The image next to Stapling displays the staple position.
10. Select a Print Quality.

    Use Print Quality to control the appearance of a print in terms of color, registration, clarity, and the degree to which it resembles the original.

    Select an option:

    • High Resolution halftones and prints at 525 x 400 dpi. It provides the best overall image quality for detailed line drawings such as CAD files. Recommended for printing vibrant, saturated, color prints or photos. The print job can take longer to process when printed using this print-quality mode.
    • Enhanced provides the best overall image quality, 525 x 450 dpi, for CAD applications and fine detail. Lines and edges are enhanced for smoothness. Black and dark colors are enhanced for richness.
    • Standard produces crisp, bright prints at high speed and is ideal for black text. Standard provides the best trade-off between performance and image quality for most jobs. Standard prints halftones at 300 x 450 dpi.
    • Fast Color is the fastest full-color mode and prints at 188 x 400 dpi. Use this mode when you have many images and for previewing your work. Fast Color rapidly produces review documents for rush jobs. Use with standard-sized paper in Tray 1. Not recommended for documents containing small text, fine detail, or large areas of bright, solid fill.
11. Select an Output Destination.

    Select the destination for your job from the tray choices in the list. If your printer has only one output destination, this list does not appear.
