Printers that are used by multiple people or departments often require a layer of security to prevent just anybody being able to send or retrieve printed documents. This guide aims to help in setting up a print code in MacOS Print Settings to meet this security goal.
Step 1: Open print window
Open blank document in either Word or Adobe Reader.
In the top left click File and then click Print or click on the printer symbol.
Step 2: Navigate to Output Method
Click on the Printer: box and select the printer you want to use.
Click the drop down menu that currently has Layout in it. Click on Output Method.
Step 3: Set up print code
Click the check box next to Account Track.
Leave Department Name blank and enter in your code into the Password field.
Select the box next to Save Settings then click OK.
Step 4: Save settings as preset
Click the drop down next to Presets: and click Save Current Settings as Preset...
You should be now able to print the document.
In the Preset Name box type "Copier Code" or "Print Code" and then click OK.
