### **Part 3: Set Secure Print as Your Permanent Default**

If you want *every* document you print to be held securely by default, follow these steps in Windows:

- Go to **Windows Start** > **Devices and Printers**.
- **Right-click** your Kyocera printer and select **Printing Preferences**.
- Go to the **Job** tab and check **Job Storage (e-MPS)**.
- Select **Private Print** and choose one of two options:
    
    
    - **Prompt for Access Code:** You'll type a new code every time you hit print.
    - **Specify Access Code:** Save one permanent code to use every time.
- Click **OK** to save.

### **Tips & Troubleshooting**

- **Locked Out?** If you forgot to set a code, try the default: `0000`.
- **Stuck in Secure Mode?** If your printer keeps asking for a code and you want it to stop, go back to the **Job** tab in settings and **uncheck Job Storage**.
