EXMARK RINT

Overview

The Lexmark PrintCryption
the transfer and printing of encrypted print jobs. This new Lexmark technology
offers a level of security that is the first of its kind in the printing industry. With
the PrintCryption module installed, the printer is capable of decrypting print jobs
encrypted with the AES (FIPS 197) algorithm. The Lexmark PrintCryption
analyses the encrypted data stream, determines if the correct key was used to
encrypt the data, decrypts the data and allows the confidential document to be
printed. This new level of printing security is ideal for industries that commonly
handle sensitive or personal information, such as financial institutions,
government agencies, and healthcare organizations.
