8.2 Setting Printer Security Levels

Printer security levels affect how rights to a printer are determined and enforced. The default security level is Medium. With sensitive print data, you might want to set the security level to High; however, performance is affected.

Table 8-4 Printer Security Levels

  2. Browse to and select the printer you want to enable Access Control for.
