# PRINTING AN ENCRYPTED PDF FILE

## Overview

PDF encryption is used to protect a PDF file by requiring the entry of a password to print or edit the file.
To directly print an encrypted PDF file on an FTP server or on a USB memory device, etc. connected to the machine, reset the password and begin printing.

- Printing is not possible if you do not know the password for the encrypted PDF file.
- Encrypted PDF versions that can be directly printed are 1.7 (Adobe® Acrobat® 7.0) and earlier.

## Operation

1. #### Tap the Job management display and tap the [Print] tab

2. #### Tap the [Spool] key

   When the list contains an encrypted PDF file, a message is displayed to indicate that an encrypted PDF file exists.

3. #### Tap the print job key for the encrypted PDF file

   You cannot select multiple encrypted PDF files.

4. #### Tap the [Enter Password for Encrypt PDF] key on the action panel

5. #### Enter the password (32 characters or less) and tap the [Yes] key

   When both a master password and a user password (that is used to open the file) have been set, enter the master password.
