A company’s IT department received a notice regarding unauthorized access to confidential documents being printed. As an IT technician, you were tasked with identifying the source of the unauthorized access. What printer feature should you review to track and attribute printed documents to users on the network?
Audit logs are utilized in multifunction devices/printers for tracking and recording user activity, such as document printing, enabling you to identify which users have printed specific documents. Checking the audit logs can help trace unauthorized access and printing of confidential documents. Accessing printer settings will not provide a record of user activity, while printer share refers to the capability to share a printer on the network and network scan services generally deal with scanning documents and not tracking print activity.
