Secure Printing and Job Routing White Paper - Canon

Once the user is ready, they can walk to the printer of theirchoice to retrieve their job. While it is possible to releasethe job to any make and model of printer, the userexperience is best on a Canon MEAP enabled MFD.The user authenticates at the Canon MFD with a doorentry card, a finger print, their username and password ora PIN number. A list of their waiting jobs is shown on theCanon MFD panel.The user can view more details of the job by pressing themagnifying glass icon. This will not only show the jobdetails and a thumbnail of the first page of the job, butalso inform the user if the job cannot be printed with allthe features originally requested. For example, the usermay have asked for the job to be stapled but walked to anMFD without a staple option. Instead of the user findingout after the job has been printed that the device cannotperform stapling, they are informed beforehand so theycan choose another device.Finally, as no printer specific information has been addedto the job yet, the user can still change how they wouldlike the job to be printed. For example, they may haveoriginally sent the job to the secure print queue singlesided, but now want it to be double sided. Rather thanhaving to delete the job and re-submit it, the user cansimply change the finishing options on the Canon controlpanel.The user can also change the hole-punch, staple, colourmode and paper type settings.
