Description
The Lexmark PrintCryption™ is an option for the Lexmark printers that enables the transfer and printing of encrypted print jobs. With the Lexmark PrintCryption™ module installed, the printer is capable of decrypting print jobs encrypted with the AES (FIPS 197) algorithm. The Lexmark PrintCryption™ analyzes the encrypted data stream, determines if the correct key was used to encrypt the data, decrypts the data and allows the document to be printed.
