Usually prints on DESY printers are just printed out without further actions after sending the job.
In the case of confidential documents - like personnel records or paychecks - this can mean that further people may be able to see those documents.

To protect against that there exists the option of secured printing. With this, documents will only be printed after entering a self-given password at the printer itself.

Please note: Secured printing is currently only available on Windows and MacOS.
