NCRYPTED SECURE PRINTING Security over the network is an increasing concern for some organisations. Encrypted secure printing allows you to send, store and print confidential documents on MFPs that are shared with other users in a network environment. Encrypting your documents before sending them to your MFP will prevent unauthorised personnel accessing confidential or sensitive information.
Page 84
The Encrypted Secure Print window opens. In the Encrypted Secure Print window, enter a [Password] for this print job: The password must be between 4 and 12 alpha-numeric characters. Numbers 1 to 9 and letters a to z are all valid. If you would like a prompt at the MFP for the job password, click the [Always ask for password] checkbox below the password entry.
Select the Auto Erase Time-out period. Specify a period of time (hours:minutes) during which the print job is stored in the MFP’s HDD. When this period expires, the print job is automatically erased from the HDD. Click [OK] to accept your changes. Click [OK] to close the Printer Properties window.

Printer Colour Management (3). When you print your document and modify settings in the printer driver, the MFP performs colour adjustments. NOTES 1. Only use one colour management system if you want the best results from your MFP. 2. If you wish to use your MFP’s colour management system, ensure that your application or operating system colour management is switched off.
RINTER COLOUR MANAGEMENT Your printer has two separate colour management systems – Office Colour and Graphic Pro. Windows > Office Colour (3a) –“Office colour” on page 198 > This is a simpler colour management system designed for ease of use. Office Colour is recommended for users who are not experts in colour but want good results when printing from programs such as Microsoft Office.
CMYK BOUT COLOUR Some application programs give you the choice to create and edit documents using either RGB colour or CMYK colour. Typically, only professional graphics and desktop publishing software support CMYK colour. Most application programs only support RGB colour, for example Microsoft Office programs or web browsers.
FFICE COLOUR This section describes the features in the printer driver for “Office Colour” printer colour management. There are two different sets of options in Office Colour: RGB OPTIONS CMYK OPTIONS (POSTSCRIPT ONLY) Monitor (6500K) – Auto SWOP Monitor (6500K) – Perceptual Euroscale Monitor (6500K) –...
- RGB FFICE COLOUR OPTIONS Office Colour provides a collection of several different colour matching presets for RGB data. These presets each change the colour of your print in a slightly different way. These RGB colour matching options are available in all printer drivers.
On the printer driver [Colour] tab, select [Office Colour] (1) and click the [Options] button. Select a preset from [Colour matching options] (2). USTOMISING OFFICE COLOUR WITH THE COLOUR CORRECT UTILITY If the Office Colour presets are not sufficient for your needs, the Colour Correct utility provides a means of further adjustment.
Profile Assistant utility and then selected in the printer driver. When a job is sent to the MFP, the ICC profiles are applied to the print job on the MFP. NOTES 1. Some features of Graphic Pro colour matching can only be used if your MFP is fitted with a hard disk.
YPES OF PROFILE SUPPORTED There are four classes of ICC profile supported by the Graphic Pro colour matching system: PROFILE DESCRIPTION TYPES RGB Source These profiles describe the device that was used to capture RGB data (e.g. scanner or digital camera). (RGB Input) The RGB Input Profile may also be your monitor profile if you are trying to match to your screen.
1 - G ATHER OR CREATE THE PROFILES Where can I get the profiles I need? PROFILE WHERE TO GET PROFILES TYPE RGB Source Obtain your RGB source profiles from your scanner, camera or monitor manufacturer. (RGB Input) CMYK Obtain the simulation profile from the manufacturer of the Simulation printer you wish to simulate.
Once you have selected a profile, you can add it to the MFP as one of the 4 profile types - RGB Source, CMYK Simulation, Printer or Linked. The options available will depend on which ICC profile you have selected. For example, if you have selected a CMYK profile, you may only be able to add this to the printer as a CMYK Simulation or Printer output profile.
ATCHING THE COLOUR OF A MONITOR SCANNER OR CAMERA The Graphic Pro colour matching system can be used to match the printer colour to an RGB input device such as a monitor, scanner or digital camera. 1. RGB data 2. Printed document 3.

In the driver’s Setup tab, under [Finishing Mode], choose [Poster Print]. Click [Options] to open the Options window. Choose the [enlargement] required for your document to fill the poster.

ATERMARKS A watermark is typically faint text that is superimposed on a printed document. This can used to indicate that the document is “Draft”, or perhaps “Confidential”.
