What is Secure Print?

Secure printing is a solution that ensures print jobs are held until the user is ready to print. This solution is crucial in maintaining the confidentiality and compliance of printed documents, especially in environments where sensitive information is regularly handled.

At Chico State, Secure Print allows you to securely print a document from your computer which can then be printed from any department MFP on campus after entering your MFP PIN.
