Device Management > Configuration > Printer > PDF Fixed Password

Use this page to print a password-protected PDF file directly.
Only administrator can set a password, so that only users who know the password can print the PDF with the data encrypted.

Note

- The PDF Temporary Password cannot be set if a PDF Fixed Password is already set.
- The PDF Fixed Password can be set by the following administrators and users:
  - Machine Administrator
  - Login users
    User authentication is enabled on the device and users are permitted to make changes to administrator's setting items.
- The PDF Fixed Password set from the Web browser is the same as the PDF password set on the printer control panel.

Note
