Have you ever hit “print” and got distracted, and forgot to pick up your printouts?

When sensitive pages sit out in an open printer tray, anyone walking down the hall can read them. This can lead to big problems with privacy, lost files, and wasted money.

That is why businesses use secure print solutions(also called pull printing or find-style printing).

Instead of printing your document instantly, the software holds your file in a safe digital waiting room. Your pages only print out when you walk up to the printer and prove who you are!

How Does a Secure Print Release Solution Work?

Using a secure print release solution is as simple as getting a package from a locked cabinet. Here is how it works in three easy steps:

Send Your File: You click “print” from your computer or phone, just like you normally do.

Software Holds the Page: Instead of coming out right away, your document stays locked securely in a digital queue.

Release at the Printer: You walk up to any printer, prove it is really you (using an ID badge, PIN code, or phone app), and tap “release.” Your pages print out right in front of your eyes!

4 Reasons Businesses Need Secure Print Solutions

Upgrading your office with modern secure print solutions like OM Plus My-Print-Delivery from Plus Technologies makes printing safer, cheaper, and much more convenient.

1. Protects Private Information (Document Security)

Whether it is patient health records, legal contracts, or student grades, private documents should never sit unattended. Requiring user authentication at the machine ensures confidential files go straight into your hands—and nobody else’s.

2. Stops Paper and Ink Waste (Cost Savings)

Did you know that up to 20% of printed pages are forgotten and thrown in the trash? With a secure print release system, non-released print jobs never valuable resources like paper and toner.

3. Lets You Print from Anywhere (Mobile Printing)

Need to grab a document on a different floor or in another building? You do not have to worry about picking the wrong machine on your computer screen. You can release your print job at whichever printer is closest to you.

4. Keeps Your Business Compliant with Security Laws

Many industries—like healthcare, finance, and law—have strict laws protecting customer privacy. Using secure print solutions helps your company follow all data privacy rules and avoid heavy fines.

Popular Ways to Release Your Documents

When you arrive at the printer, unlocking your papers takes just a few seconds. You can:

  • Swipe an ID Badge: Tap your employee ID badge on a badge reader attached to the printer.
  • Type a PIN Code: Enter your secret PIN on the printer’s touchscreen.
  • Use a Smartphone: Open a mobile app on your phone to release the print job.
