Faculty/Staff: Private Printing in the New Ivey Building

What is Private Printing?

Our Toshiba Multifunction printers have a feature called 'private printing'. This feature enables printing of confidential material via the use of a password.  At the time of printing, the user assigns a password to the print job.  The printer will not print a private job until the user enters the print job password at the printer.  In this way, users can control the timing of the release of the print job.

Private Printing for Windows
