Enable release keys

Release key is an Equitrac feature that lets users assign a key value to their documents when they submit print requests. Users can also assign a release key to a print job allowing other users to walk up to any embedded device, and print any jobs in the queue that were submitted using that release key. The job is tracked and charged to the user releasing the job, not the user who assigned the release key.

When prompted for a release key at an embedded device, users are required to enter the same alpha-numeric key value used at print time to release a job from the secure print queue.

To enable release key prompts on the embedded device, do the following:

  1. Open Web System Manager, and go to System Configuration > Global Configuration Settings > Configuration > User Interaction > Session flow.
  2. Select Prompt for release key in the Other prompts section if release keys are to be enabled.
  3. From the Acknowledge and accept or deny copy job cost drop down, select the group to which the acknowledgment applies (All users, Campus card users, Do not display (default) or Non-Campus card users).
  4. Click Apply to save the setting.
