This guide explains how to send a document to a Ricoh printer/copier with a user-defined code to start printing.


This can be useful where confidential information is sent to a printer but you do not want anyone else to see the printout before you collect it.


  1. Open the File menu
  2. Click Print, and select the printer you want to print to (if not your default printer)
  3. Select Properties or Printer Properties
  4. In the Setup menu, under Job Type, select Locked Print
  5. Click the Details button
  6. Enter any user ID and any numerical password (max 8 digits) and click OK
  7. Click OK and finally click OK again to print the document.
  8. You must now go to the copier in order to unlock the job for printing
  9. Press the Print Server button (highlighted below in red) and then select Print Jobs (in green) and finally Print (in blue)
