Figure 4–4 Protect As Statement

Illustration shows location of Protect As classification,
and Protect As classification plus compartments.

For example, a site uses INTERNAL_USE_ONLY as the minimum protect as classification. The site has three classifications with the values that are shown in the first two columns of the following table. The third column shows the protect as classification. This classification is printed on the banner and trailer pages for the print job when the classification in the left column is in the job's label.

Table 4–1 Effect of Minimum Protect As Classification on Printer Output


Classification of Print Job	Value	Protect As Classification Printed on Banner and Trailer Pages
`NEED_TO_KNOW`	3	`NEED_TO_KNOW`
`INTERNAL_USE_ONLY`	2	`INTERNAL_USE_ONLY`
`PUBLIC`	1	`INTERNAL_USE_ONLY`

As the preceding table illustrates, any print job whose label includes either the PUBLIC or the INTERNAL_USE_ONLY classification would print INTERNAL_USE_ONLY in the Protect as statement and at the top and bottom of banner and trailer pages. Any print jobs whose label includes the NEED_TO_KNOW classification would print NEED_TO_KNOW in the same locations.
