Use this function to embed a text and background pattern in confidential documents.
If a document with an embedded copy guard pattern is copied, scanned, and/or stored in a machine with the Copy Data Security unit, the image of the page to be printed is destroyed, and replaced with a solid gray image.
Depending on the printer you are using, this function may not be available.
Note:
Use the Unauthorized Copy Prevention function to make the background pattern and text clearly visible when an unauthorized document is copied, scanned, printed, and/or stored in the machine.
This function requires that the Copy Data Security
unit be installed on the printer.
Depending on the printer you are using, you may need an MFP that comes
with the Copy Data Security unit. For details, see the operating instructions
provided with the printer.
If an unauthorized document is copied, scanned, printed, and/or stored in a machine without the Copy Data Security unit, a warning message will be printed on the printed copy instead of the copy's color being completely gray.
For details about data security for copying function and effects, see the operating instructions provided with the printer.
Printing with this function takes longer than normal printing because more data is processed.
Depending on the data security for copying settings, the driver's prevention pattern may be overwritten by the printer's pattern.
