Module description
The Lexmark PrintCryption is an option for the Lexmark printers that enables the transfer and printing of encrypted print jobs. With the 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 confidential document to be printed.
