==Description==
The following instructions are related to the color Ricoh copiers found on campus. These instructions allow the user to prevent the printer from printing out documents until they are present at the machine by setting a password with each print job. To do this you will need to make the following changes on your computer and at the copier.

=='''Open Printer Properties'''==
*The first step is accessing '''Printer Properties.''' Printer Properties can be easily accessed using one of the two following methods :
'''Through Windows Settings'''
*1. In Windows Search, search for '''Printers & Scanners.''' Click on '''Printers & Scanners.'''

*9. Enter the name '''"Secure Printing"''' into the '''One Click Preset Name''' field and then click '''OK.'''
*10. In the '''One Click Present List''' there will now be an option called '''"Secure Printing"'''. When attempting to secure print in the future you can just double click this option from the list. Click '''OK''' on the properties screen to close out of it.

After these steps the printer will now be set on your computer to do secure printing. If you wish to disable/enable secure print you do this by accessing the '''Printer Properties''' window and selecting '''Basic Settings''' to disable it or '''Secure Printing''' to enable it.

=='''At the Copier'''==

*1. Each color copier will be locked by a unique department code. Once you are provided the code, you can enter it on the following screen using the touch pad to proceed.

*5. All secure print jobs associated with your User ID will be displayed in this list. Tap on the print job that you want to print out then tap '''Print'''. Doing this will bring up the enter password field.

*6. Enter the password you associated with the User ID back on your computer then click '''OK'''. The Print Job will be removed from the list automatically and will proceed with printing normally.

The Copier will automatically lock itself once left alone so the user does not need to do anything to lock the machine again once they are done with it.
