How to Set Up Secure Print Release
It's the single most effective control for keeping sensitive documents — patient charts, client financials, HR files — off the output tray.
On Ricoh IM series
- Enable "Locked Print" in User Tools > Printer Settings
- Users send jobs with a PIN from the print driver
- Job releases only when the PIN is entered at the panel See our Ricoh service page.
On Konica Minolta bizhub i-Series
- Enable "User Authentication" + "Secure Print" in the machine web UI
- Users authenticate by PIN or badge; jobs release at the panel See our Konica Minolta service page.
Why it matters
Beyond security, secure release cuts wasted prints — abandoned jobs never print at all. See our copier security guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does secure release slow down printing? No — users simply tap a PIN at the machine; jobs are already queued.
Can I use badges instead of PINs? Yes — both Ricoh and Konica Minolta support card/badge authentication.
Is secure release required for HIPAA? It's the most effective single control for keeping PHI off the tray — we recommend it for every covered entity.
Can you set this up on a machine I already own? Yes — we configure secure release on existing Ricoh and Konica Minolta MFPs.
