To print sensitive information on a shared Ricoh printer, you can use the Locked Job option to prevent the document from being released until you’re standing in front of the printer. A password will be required to allow the print job to complete, ensuring that nobody else picks your document up off the printer by mistake.
Windows 10/11 Instructions
After choosing File > Print and selecting the Ricoh printer, click on the Preferences button:
Choose the Detailed Settings tab and click on the “Job Setup” icon, then change “Job Type” to “Locked Print” (not “Hold Print”). Now click on the “Details” buttons beside it:
In the “Job Type Details” window, enter a short User ID so you can identify your print job when you go to the Ricoh printer to release it, and in the “Password” field, choose any sequence of numbers up to eight digits. Click OK and then send your print job.
Go to the Ricoh printer and, using the built-in display screen, choose “Printer” from the Home menu.
In the Printer window, choose the “Print Jobs” tab on the left and tap “Locked Print Job”.
In the Locked Print Job window, look for your print job, identified by whatever you entered in the User ID field in the preceding steps. Tap your job in the list to select it. Tap “Print”.
You will be prompted to enter the password you chose in the preceding steps. Enter the password using the Ricoh’s keypad and then tap “OK”. A message will pop up asking “Are you sure you want to print the following?” Tap “Print” again and your job will print.
