How to Delete Documents After Printing
The best finishing step: delete your Print Code so documents are no longer accessible after you leave the shop.
Printing is not finished until access is removed
Collecting paper from the tray feels like the end of the job. For privacy, the real ending is deleting the Print Code so documents are no longer accessible. Temporary storage helps, but manual deletion is the cleanest habit — especially for IDs, resumes, and financial papers.
Why deletion matters
- Stops further previews or prints from the same code.
- Reduces the chance that a code screenshot shared in chat remains useful.
- Keeps shop devices from holding onto your session longer than needed.
- Matches the product promise: your documents, your control.
How to delete after printing
- Finish the print job and check that all pages are correct.
- Return to Print Kotika on the device where you still control the session.
- Use the delete option for the Print Code / documents.
- Confirm deletion. Once deleted, the Print Code and documents are no longer accessible.
If you forget to delete
Print Kotika is designed for temporary storage. If documents are not deleted manually, they are typically removed automatically after a short period (around 60 minutes). Treat auto-cleanup as a safety net, not a reason to skip deletion for sensitive files.
Good habits at the counter
- Delete before you walk away, not “later at home.”
- Do not leave the shop PC on a preview screen of your documents.
- If you shared the code verbally in a public queue, deletion is even more important.
- Take misprints with you or ask for shredding.
For printers helping customers
After completing a job, remind customers to delete. Shops that normalize “print, pay, delete” reduce leftover sessions and look more professional than shops that accumulate years of customer PDFs in chat apps.
Simple closing step, big privacy win
Print Kotika stays simple on purpose. The delete step is part of that simplicity — open code, print, remove access.
