Secure Print Instructions for Xerox Work Centre Pro Printers for Windows

Xerox multifunction printers provide allow users to ensure the physical security of their documents by requiring that a PIN be entered at the unit before a document begins to print.  This allows you to print a document from your computer and then walk to the printer before the document begins printing, preventing others from viewing the document as it prints before you arrive.

NOTE: Secure Print is only available on Windows systems.  It is not available for other operating systems at this time.  Additionally, these instructions are for WorkCentre Pro printers only.  WorkCentre M15i and M20i units on campus do not have this feature.

To enable Secure Print on Windows XP systems:

  1. Open the Printers and Faxes menu from the Windows Start menu.
    Start Menu > Printers & Faxes
  2. Right-click on the Xerox printer you wish to configure for Secure Print and choose Properties from the pop-up menu.
    Properties menu
  3. On the General tab, click the Printing Preferences button.
    General Tab > Printing Preferences
  4. On the Paper/Output tab, click the pulldown arrow next to Job Type.  Change the setting to Secure Print.
    Job Type > Secure Print
  5. Click the Setup button under the Job Type pulldown menu.  In the window that opens, choose a 4-10 digit numeric passcode and enter it twice.  Click OK to close the Secure Print window.
    Passcode Selection
  6. Click OK to close the Printing Preferences window.
  7. Click OK to close the Printer Properties window.

To turn off this feature, repeat these steps and change the setting to Normal Print instead of Secure Print.

When you print a document, it will be held in the printer’s queue until you visit the printer and release the job with your chosen Secure Print password.  Follow these instructions to release the job:

  1. Press the Job Status button on the printer.
  2. Select your document by pressing its line on the copier screen.
  3. Press the Release button on the copier screen.
  4. Enter your Secure Print password using the copier keypad and press Enter on the screen.
  5. The document should begin printing.
