Print out with Date and Time of printing

[MarloPerrigoAUS]

Hi,

We have a HP Color Laserjet Enterprise MFP M577. How can I configure for it to include the date and time of printing as a footnote. Hope for your response. Thanks

I am not aware that the printer can do this.

That said, my skill set in Laser Printers is fairly shallow and I might have missed something.

What else?

Data can be added to some documents to reflect that document's history, including name and print date for example.

The software you are using to create the document and / or the job controls what type of data is included in the job.

For example...

Print date and other header / footer data can be printed from the Browser as a matter of toggling the Footer / Header data in Settings / More Settings.

Office Word - Quick Parts > Field Data

Using Word, the PrintDate field can be added to the Footer or Header (along with a multitude of other entry types).

Basic Example - Word > Add Quick Parts Field data:  PrintDate

Word_Insert_Quick_Parts_PrintDate_1

Thanks. I was kind of hoping I can set the printer that way as an audit requirement. We are looking into tracking documents being printed whether from pdf or word or any software used.
