Based on a Ricoh document:

 The Locked Print function allows a user to enter a password for his or her print job when sending documents to a remote printer. Locked Print processes (stores) the print job at the MultiFunction Printer (MFP), but does not print it until the user arrives at the machine and enters the required print job password.
Locked Print is useful when printing documents of a sensitive nature to shared printers (password matters). It is also a convenient feature that prevents a colleague from inadvertently picking up your print out mixed with their material (password doesnt matter). The downside print jobs that you do not manually release to be printed will remain in the printers memory. Ricoh service people will not know your password and cannot remove old print jobs. Hence, our Ricoh representative suggested that everyone simply use 123 as his or her password. This works as long as you don't care that a colleague (or student "in the know") could print the document.

Setup 1: Access installed printers

Setup 2: Right-click on the Ricoh MFP

This is probably your default printer. (It wont be AT276-1) The name was given in the instructions for connecting your printer to the new Ricoh MFP.

Setup 2a: Select Properties

Setup 3: Select Printing Preferences

Setup 4: Using the drop-down menu for Job Type, Select Locked Print

Setup 4a: Select Details

Setup 5: Create a user ID

Setup 5a: Create a Password

The Ricoh rep suggested 123. As you can see there is no way to recover it if you forget. This provides limited confidentiality, since everyone would know your password.
