Unauthorized Copy Prevention / Data Security For Copying; Enabling Pattern Printing - Ricoh AFICIO MP C305SP Manual

Unauthorized Copy Prevention / Data Security
for Copying
In Printer Features, using the printer driver, you can embed a pattern in the printed copy to discourage
or prevent unauthorized copying.
The unauthorized copy prevention function prevents unauthorized copies of documents by embedding a
text pattern (for instance, a warning such as "No Copying") that you can set on the print driver (which
will appear on printed copies).
Data security for copying prevents document information leaks by graying out copies of documents that
were printed with the data security for copying pattern enabled in the printer driver.
However, in order to gray out the security pattern, the Copy Data Security Unit is required for the copier
or multi-function printer.
For more information, see the information below.
