File printing and managing method and device based on hard copy device

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of hard copy technology and discloses a file printing and method, a managing method and a device based on a hard copy device. Whole safety of a printing environment is improved. The method comprises steps that after a management control server receives a printing task request sent by a user via a client end, the client end is indicated to store a to-be-printed file to an assigned storage region, and inform a temporary key used by the hard copy device to a service end for managing the storage region; and the service end temporarily establishes a safe data channel between the storage region and the hard copy device and sends the to-be-printed file to the hard copy device for printing by use of the temporary key. Thus, an illegal user cannot know when and in what ways the safe data channel will be established and what kinds of keys will be used for information interaction, thereby effectively avoiding a leakage of the to-be-printed file, ensuring safety of data information and ensuring reliability and stability of an application environment of the hard copy device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hard copy, in particular to a document printing and management method and device based on hard copy equipment. Background technique [0002] With the deepening of information management in various enterprises and institutions, hard copy (HardCopy) equipment has become an indispensable part of modern office, and it has attracted more and more attention because of its advantages of fast, convenient and easy to operate. Among them, the so-called hard copy equipment refers to: printers, copiers, scanners and fax machines and so on. [0003] In practical applications, the above-mentioned hard copy devices are usually monitored by the management control server. In this way, not only human resources can be saved, but file security can also be ensured. [0004] For example: taking the hard copy device as a printer as an example, the employees of the company output all the files to be processed to the management ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in practical applications, no protection measures are applied to the document transfer process between the data cache and the hard copy device, and the hard copy device can directly read the document to be printed from the data cache

Clearly, printing documents in this way creates a risk of leakage of the document to be printed, thereby reducing the overall security of the printing process
