Control administrative access and treat unattended printouts as part of the document workflow.
Control who can change settings
Follow the exact model’s instructions for its administrator password or PIN. Keep those details in an appropriate password manager and share them only with the people responsible for the printer. Available security controls vary between home and managed office models.
Keep the network arrangement deliberate
Use your organization’s approved network and update process. Review optional direct-print and remote features with the person who manages that network. Avoid enabling a connection method merely because it appears in the setup menu; use the methods your workflow needs.
Remember the physical page
Collect sensitive output promptly and check the selected printer before sending a job. If a device offers authenticated release, verify how it works before relying on it. Before selling or disposing of a printer, follow its instructions for removing accounts and stored settings.
