How to Secure Print on your Department Xerox

Question

What is Secure Print? How do I securely print documents to a Xerox?

Overview

Secure Print is a type of print job that is best recommended for printing sensitive or confidential information. After a user sends a Secure Print job, it is held at the copier until the user enters a passcode at the printer control panel in order to release it.

Solution

1. When getting ready to print a document, select the Xerox copier and click Properties to open the Xerox settings. Certain applications may show the print dialogue differently, examples are included below.

Printing in Adobe Acrobat - click the Properties button to proceed.

Printing in Microsoft Office - click the Printer Properties button to continue.

Printing from Google Chrome - click on More settings, then scroll to the bottom and click Print using system dialog..., then More settings in the resulting pop-up window.

2. Under the Printing Options tab, go to Job Type and select Secure Print from the dropdown.

3. Enter a passcode. This will be needed at the Xerox copier in order to release the Secure Print. If this is forgotten, a new Secure Print job will need to be sent with a new passcode set. ITS will not know and cannot reset your passcode.

4. At the Xerox copier, select Jobs from the main screen. Note: The following images are for a Xerox AltaLink C8000 series - images may vary on the exact model of your copier.
