The confidential print feature allows printing to be started only after
entering the specified password on the operation panel. This feature
is useful for printing secret document data on the printer located away
from the user.

To execute confidential print, specify use of this feature and enter a
password on the setting screen of the printer driver (Advanced tab in
the Windows system, print conditions setting in the Macintosh sys-
tem). The operation procedure on the operation panel for starting
confidential print is described below. The maximum number of con-
fidential print jobs that can be stored in the printer can be specified
using a key operator program.

NOTES: Different first page, transparency inserts, and booklet print

are not available with this feature.

Paper tray selection in the printer driver must be ’Auto
Select’.

A confidential print data is deleted when printing is com-
pleted or the CLEAR (



) key is pressed during printing.

If the printer power switch is turned off or the printer is
turned off by the auto power shut-off function, all confiden-
tial print data that has been stored in the printer will be
deleted. The auto power shut-off time can be adjusted
using a copier key operator program. If confidential print is
often used, it is recommended to set a long auto power
shut-off time.

In the following cases, the printer will cancel confidential
print and output a notice page. The received print data will
be cleared.

1. The maximum number of print jobs or the maximum

number of pages specified with a key operator program
is exceeded.

2. ‘Custom paper size’ is specified.

If the printer model has the tandem copy/print feature and is con-
nected with another copier of the same model through the tandem-
connection cable so that the tandem copy feature can be used, the
tandem print feature can be used. For printing multiple sets, two
printers can be used simultaneously, allowing printing to be twice as
fast as printing on one printer.

To execute tandem print, select this feature on the printer driver set-
ting screen (Advanced tab in the Windows system, print conditions
setting in the Macintosh system).

•

If the printers are equipped with optional equipment, the two
printers must be equipped with the same optional equipment. A
dedicated tandem-connection cable AR-CA1 is required for tan-
dem print.

•

Paper tray selection in the printer driver must be ‘Auto Select’.

•

Different first page, transparency inserts, and confidential print are
not available.

NOTES: If the printers are connected to the network, print data must

be sent to the main printer for tandem print. If the data is
sent to the sub printer, the data will be output without using
the tandem print feature.

For tandem printing, the operation settings of the two
copier/printers must be the same. For details on these set-
tings, see the section of Tandem Copy in the copier opera-
tion manual.

To  cancel  tandem  printing  after  starting,  press  the "OF-
FLINE" key on the main printer. Then press the CLEAR key
on the main printer.
