TL Code and QR Code
TL code or QR code is used to embed scan lock information and tracking information. TL code and QR code differ from
each other in terms of the embedding procedure, restriction conditions, and tracking information. Select the code that
suits the type of multifunctional printer that you use and your system of management. Also note that it is not possible
to use both TL code and QR code at the same time.
TL Code
TL code embeds scan lock information using dots that are printed in the entire background of the document.
This enables the information to be retained even if part of the output paper is missing. Note, however, that
copying can only be restricted on Canon multifunction printers that support the Document Scan Lock function.
Original
● If tracking information is included in the TL code, you can analyze the tracking information to check
the data embedded in the TL code, such as the date, user name, and device name.
● It is also possible to only embed the tracking information without restricting copying.
Managing the Machine
The administrator can restrict the copying of documents by forcibly embedding scan
lock information in documents when they are printed or copied. Tracking
information can also be embedded, enabling you to analyze who, when, and which
machine was used to output the document. This information is embedded in TL code
or QR code in documents. A system option is required in order to use this function.
