Unauthorized Copy Control

You can embed patterns and text under printed text to prevent unauthorized copying of the document.
Unauthorized Copy Control consists of two functions: [Data security of copying] and [Mask type:].
• This function is designed to discourage copying of confidential documents; it does not prevent
unauthorized use of information.
• This function can be used with the RPCS printer driver.
