Abstract
An apparatus includes a user interface and a locked print module. The locked print module is configured to examine a plurality of print data received by the apparatus to determine whether locked printing is specified for any electronic documents contained in the plurality of print data. If locked printing is specified for any of the electronic documents contained in the plurality of print data, then the corresponding print data is stored on the apparatus and not processed for printing. The locked print module is further configured to authenticate the user credential data received via the user interface of the apparatus and in response to a non-successful authentication of at least part of the user credential data, causing locked print data associated with the user credential data to be deleted.
