And by adding the Document Guard Kit, you can ensure that documents embedded with the print guard pattern cannot be copied, scanned or faxed from any TASKalfa device that has the kit installed. Or multiply your document security options even further with the optional Card Authentication function, and keep your company’s intellectual property safe from unauthorized individuals either within your organisation or from uninvited guests outside the organisation.
