1. What You Can Do with This Machine
• Using the printer driver, you can embed a pattern in the printed document. If the document is
copied on a machine with the Copy Data Security unit, protected pages are grayed out in the
copy. This can minimize the risk of confidential information being copied. Protected fax messages
are grayed out before being transmitted or stored. If a document protected by unauthorized copy
guard is copied on a machine that is equipped with the Copy Data Security unit, the machine
beeps to notify users that unauthorized copying is being attempted.
If the document is copied on a machine without the Copy Data Security Unit, the hidden text
becomes conspicuous in the copy, showing that the copy is unauthorized.
• Using the printer driver, you can embed text in the printed document for unauthorized copy
prevention. If the document is copied, scanned, or stored in a Document Server by a copier or
multifunction printer, the embedded text appears conspicuous in the copy, discouraging such
unauthorized copying.
