Confidential Print - Sharp AR-PB2A Operation Manual

USING THE OPERATION PANEL

Confidential Print

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
system (page 27)). The operation procedure on the operation panel for starting confidential print is
described below. The maximum number of confidential print jobs that can be stored in the printer can
be specified using a key operator program. See page 43.

2. Press the confidential print icon on the touch panel.

to select the offline mode and then press the confidential print icon.

confidential print data that has been stored in the printer will be deleted. The auto power shut-off time can be

auto power shut-off time.
