Preventing an Unauthorized Copy
You can print embedded pattern on paper to prevent them from being copied.
• Using the printer driver, you can embed a pattern in the printed document. If
the document is copied on a machine with the Copy Data Security Unit (op-
tional), protected pages are grayed out in the copy, preventing confidential
information from being copied. If a document protected by unauthorized
copy guard is copied on a machine that is equipped with the Copy Data Se-
curity Unit*, the machine beeps to notify users that unauthorized copying is
being attempted.
If the document is copied on a machine without the Copy Data Security Unit,
the hidden text becomes conspicuous in the copy, showing that the copy is
unauthorized.
See the printer driver Help and Printer Reference.
• Using the printer driver, you can embed text in the printed document for un-
authorized copy prevention. If the document is copied, scanned, or stored in
a Document Server by a copier or multifunction printer, the embedded text
appears conspicuous in the copy, discouraging such unauthorized copying.
See the printer driver Help and Printer Reference.
