Security Label

The SEC field contains a 1 - 8 character alphanumeric value that corresponds to the security label of spool files that can be printed on this printer. If a security label is not assigned to the printer, the SEC field is followed by the word NONE. No files can be printed until the printer is STARTed with a valid security label.

In Figure 1, the printers will print only files with a security label of JOBARO.

Security labels are used to control print jobs only if an external security manager (ESM) is installed and security label checking is enabled. If you are authorized by the ESM, use the START command to change the security label of the printer to correspond to the security label of the files you want to print next.
