Unauthorized Copy Prevention / Data Security For Copying - Ricoh MP C6502 series Operation Manual

Unauthorized Copy Prevention / Data Security
for Copying
The copier, Document Server, and printer functions let you embed a pattern in a printed copy to
discourage or prevent unauthorized copying.
If the Unauthorized Copy Prevention function is enabled, embedded text patterns (for instance, a
warning message such as "No Copying") are displayed when documents are copied illegally.
Accordingly, unauthorized copying can be prevented.
If the Data Security for Copying function is used and settings for special patterns embedded in
documents are enabled, copies of documents with embedded patterns are printed with gray overprint.
Accordingly, information leakage can be prevented. To protect documents by gray overprint, the copier
or multi-function printer must be installed with the Copy Data Security Unit.
If a machine installed with the Copy Data Security Unit detects a file protected by the Data Security for
Copying function, the machine beeps and logs the unauthorized copying.
For more information, see the information below:
Using Unauthorized Copy Prevention
1. On the machine, enable printing of the embedded pattern. The settings must be configured by
the machine administrator. For details about how to configure the setting, see page 190
"Enabling Pattern Printing".
2. Specify the settings for unauthorized copy prevention in the copier, Document Server, or
printer function. The privilege to specify the setting depends on the setting specified in
[Compulsory Unauthorized Copy Prevention]. For details, see page 190 "Enabling Pattern
Printing".
Using Data Security for Copying
1. On the machine, enable the embedded pattern print setting. The settings must be configured
by the machine administrator. For details about how to configure the setting, see page 190
"Enabling Pattern Printing".
2. Specify the settings for data security for copying in the copier, Document Server, or printer
function. The privilege to specify the setting depends on the setting specified in [Compulsory
Unauthorized Copy Prevention]. For details, see page 190 "Enabling Pattern Printing".
3. Configure the "Detect Data Security for Copying" setting for printed copies, so that documents
are printed with gray overprint when they are illegally copied, faxed, scanned, or stored in
the machine. The setting must be configured by the machine administrator. For details about
how to configure the setting, see page 191 "Enabling Detect Data Security for Copying".
• When copying, the thickness of an embedded pattern may be uneven due to the original type
setting,. If this happens, change the original type setting to [Text] or [Photo].
