What is on-printer secure print release?
Coreza Print supports on-printer secure print release using the built-in capability of the printer. This holds print jobs until the user enters the correct pin number, which releases the print jobs at the printer.
The functionality is configured through the use of manufacturer-specific mini PPD files, that instruct the printer how to handle and hold the job.

Enable the correct printer PPD
Under the Advanced Settings section of ‘Edit Printer’ select the correct PPD fragment that relates to the make/model of printer that is being targeted for Secure Printing.
