Secure printing is a method of ensuring that sensitive or confidential documents are only printed by authorized individuals. There are several ways to achieve secure printing, including:
Authentication: Requiring users to enter a password or use a secure ID card before printing.
Encryption: Encrypting the document before it is sent to the printer to prevent unauthorized access.
Pull printing: Also known as “follow-me” printing, this method allows the user to release their document at the printer only after they have verified their identity at the device.
Audit trails: Keeping a log of all print jobs, including the user, document, and time of print, to aid in any future investigations.
Secure print release: This feature allows users to store print jobs in a queue, and then release them only when they are physically present at the printer, to prevent someone else from picking up their printouts.
