CompTIA A+ 220-1101 Practice Question

Badging, also known as card authentication, involves using a physical token, typically an ID card, that users present to authenticate themselves with the printer. It is commonly used in workplaces to control access to secure printing capabilities, ensuring that only authorized staff can retrieve printed documents. Audit logs would keep records of usage, but on their own do not restrict access. Secured prints are a feature that holds a print job until a user manually releases it at the printer, which could be used in conjunction with authentication. Usernames and passwords are not typically used for physical multifunction printers as they might be cumbersome to input on the device and less secure than badging in high-traffic areas.
