Abstract:
1. A system for managing trays for accepting sheets, comprising: at least one secured output stacking bin operatively configured to conceal secured output sheets; at least one unsecured output stacking bin; and at least one processor for implementing data instruction set(s), wherein, if a security option is selected by a user, and if the at least one secured output stacking bin is not associated with the user, the at least one processor is configured to: cause generation of a randomly-generated passcode associated with the at least one secured output stacking bin, in response to each electronic input request by the user to produce secured sheets, provide the randomly-generated passcode to the user, and cause the at least one output stacking bin to be remain secured until the randomly-generated passcode is provided to the system by the user, wherein said randomly-generated passcode expires after a predetermined period of time, and wherein, if the security option is not selected by the user, the processor is configured to cause production of unsecured sheets into the unsecured output stacking bin.
