If the hard disk is installed in the printer, you can use the Locked Print function.
If you are printing a document that contains sensitive information, you can use this function to ensure that printing begins only after you have entered your user ID and password on the printer’s control panel. This function improves the security of your document because you must be physically present at the printer in order for the document to be printed.
Note:
A user ID and password must be set to use Locked Print.
The maximum number of jobs and pages the printer can store differs depending on the printer you use. For details, see the operating instructions provided with the printer.

If the first character of your windows login name is an invalid character (other than a-z, A-Z, and 0-9), your user ID is displayed as "unknown". If there is an invalid character after the first character in your Windows login name, your user ID will only display the characters before the invalid character.
If the first character of your windows login name is an invalid alphanumeric character other than a-z, A-Z, and 0-9 or a symbol other than '_', '.', '-', '/', and ':', "unknown" appears as your user ID. If there is an invalid character after the first character in your Windows login name, your user ID will only display the characters before the invalid character.
