On the Printing Preferences window select the Job Storage tab. From here (starting on the top left and working to the bottom right) Select Personal Job under Job Storage Mode. Click on the dropdown menu below Make Job

Private/Secure and select PIN to print. Enter in a 4 digit code and remember it. If you want a different username to be displayed on the printer you can type it under the User Name portion but leaving it as default is a best practice. When all changes have been made click the Apply button and then the OK button.

Note: If you wish to turn of Secure Printing follow the steps above to open the Printing Preferences for the same printer. Under Job Storage Mode select Off. Click the Apply and OK buttons to disable Secure Printing.

The first time a print job is sent to the printer after making the changes above a Job Storage Identification window will pop up. If you do not wish to see this every time a print job is sent to this printer check the box next to “In the future, do no show this information” and click the OK button.
