20180338056 · 2018-11-22 ·

Systems for controlling access to documents including sensitive information and/or sensitive information are provided. In some examples, a system, computing platform, or the like, may receive a command to print a document or generate a photocopy of a document. The computing platform may analyze the document to determine whether the document includes sensitive information. If not, a first ink source, first paper source, first output destination, or the like, may be identified for use in printing the document. If so, a second, different ink source, paper source, and/or output destination may be identified for use in printing the document. The computing platform may then transmit an instruction to the printing, copying, scanning, or the like, device to print the document using the identified ink source, paper source, and/or output destination.
