  2. Under Job Type, select Secure Print.

  3. In the Secure Print window, enter a passcode ( a numeric password required to release the document) twice.

  4. Click OK twice.

  5. Choose any other settings needed and Print.

Releasing a secure print job

  1. On the printer, go to Job Status.

  2. Select your 8-character username (e.g. j25rober).

  3. Click the print job, and then select Release.

  4. Type in the passcode, and then press Enter.
