Secure Watermark (Managing Document Security)

Secure Watermark is a security management feature to embed a copy protection digital
code into a document, to restrict the document to be duplicated. The digital code enables
you to analyze "when", "from which machine", and "by whom" the document was output.
Important • This feature is only supported on Fuji Xerox manufactured machines that are compatible to Secure

Watermark.
• The copy protection of a document, the analysis function of digital codes, and the restrictive effect
of hidden text using the Secure Watermark feature is not warranted to always function. The feature
may not function depending on the document or settings. For more information, contact our
Customer Support Center.
• We assume no responsibility for a damage caused by using or not being able to use the Secure
Watermark feature.
• Using the Secure Watermark feature may degrade print quality as follows:
- Colors may become darker.
- Text in documents may become hard to read.
- Dots such as decimal characters and periods may become hard to read.
• The Secure Watermark feature may not work properly for a document if its size is smaller than A5, if
its background color is not white, or if the Watermark or Secure Watermark feature has already been
used for the document.
• In some cases, a document may not be printed even if the Secure Watermark feature has not been
used for the document. This happens because the machine incorrectly detects a copy protection
code from the document. In that case, ask the system administrator to temporarily disable [Secure
Watermark Detection] for copy protection codes.
• If a layout template is specified in [Apply Layout Template to Copy/Print Jobs] under [Force
Annotation] in the System Administration mode, an embedded copy protection code is overlapped
with the text on the layout template. For information on [Force Annotation], refer to "5 Tools" >
"Common Service Settings" > "Force Annotation" in the Administrator Guide.
• Analyzing output paper allows the system administrator to grasp the identification information of
the user who requested the job. Note that we assume no responsibility for a privacy issue of the user
caused by using the Secure Watermark feature.
• If you use the Secure Watermark feature to a document that a protection code of the Secure
Watermark feature (including the Copy Management Expansion Kit (optional)) has already been
embedded, the copy protection of a document, the analysis function of digital codes, and the
restrictive effect of hidden text will be ineffective.
• When [Secure Watermark Detection] is set to [On], it takes longer time for the first page of a
document to be copied than usual as the machine detects a copy protection code.
• The following settings for the Secure Watermark Effect of the Secure Watermark Kit (optional) are
set to fixed and cannot be changed: print density, embedded text display (outline), and the font size.
• The Watermark and Secure Watermark features cannot be used simultaneously.
• To analyze digital codes, an application, ApeosWare Secure Watermark Analyzer (sold separately), is
required. For information on how to use ApeosWare Secure Watermark Analyzer, refer to the
documentation provided with the application.
• This feature does not appear for some models. An optional component is required. For more
information, contact our Customer Support Center.
