Using Xerox Printers in CS
Secure Printing
The Xerox WorkCenter printers support secure printing by allowing you to associate a PIN to the printer. When you assign a PIN to a printer this is remembered until you unassign it so subsequent print jobs to that printer will require a PIN.
To set up secure printing:
1. In your app, select the printer and then Printer Properties.
2. Select Print Settings.
3. Under Job Type select Secure Print and enter a PIN.
To turn off secure printing:
1. In your app, select the printer and then Printer Properties
2. Select Print Settings
3. Under Job Type select Normal Print
- At the control panel, press the wake up button (10) printer if asleep.
- Press the print job status button (2), which looks like an [i]
- Press job on screen and select Release
