Secure Printing
When copiers, printers, or multifunction machines are repaired or disposed of, one of the considerations must be the possibility that data still resides on the machine. This is especially true of machines that provide any type of storage before printing. Check the manufacturer for information on whether the storage is used for processing or storage.
Another aspect of security in printing is requiring authentication for users to access the device. Some printers provide authentication services that can be accessed through the printer itself; others use network applications that integrate with the printing services. Additionally, some software packages track printing usage based on the authentication of the user.
