ENUS28974 What is PrintCryption?When purchased and installed on your printer or MFD, the PrintCryption card encrypts print data, providing a secure print path for printing environments that require confidentiality. NOTE: All other printer functions operate as normal: FTP, web page, ping, telnet, and printing via non-PrintCryption ports.
What is included When you purchase this package you will receive:-an installable PrintCryption daughter board that is matched to your print er model/machine type, and-a client software CD package containing the PrintCryption Test Utility and port monitor software for creating an encrypted port.
Port creationYou will install the port monitor software directly from the installation CD, and a Lexmark PrintCryption port will be chosen when the port monitor is selected during port creation. NOTE: The software is not available from any download source. The current version is 1.3.0; it is backward compatible with older versions of PrintCryption.
Port test: PrintCryption Test UtilityThe Lexmark Printcryption Test Utility will attempt to communicate with the IP address via PrintCryption. NOTE: A PrintCryption port DOES NOT have to have been created before this utility can be used. Results
- -If it cannot communicate (for instance: wrong IP; printer is powered off; PrintCryption card is not installed), the error will remain the same as "Error: Unable to communicate with printer".
- -If it successfully communicates, it will display the firmware version of PrintCryption installed on the printer.
Printer requirementsPrintCryption has no extra memory requirements * and can be added to any printer that offers this option.
One DLE per printer
The PrintCryption card is considered a DLE (Downloadable Language Emulation(or)) component and thus cannot be added to a printer already containing a DLE such as IPDS, Bar Code, Prescribe, or a printer hosting the 4600 scanner option. * - Older products that do not have at least 32MB of RAM would require a memory upgrade. TroubleshootingRun the PrintCryption Test Utility. This will test the PrintCryption card to determine if it is functioning properly.
