Windows 10: Locked print setting doesn't stay in Excel

In printing preferences, we have changed the job type to Locked Print (the default is Normal Print) so that we are forced to enter a code on our Ricoh printer to retrieve our documents. Word and Outlook keep this preference saved, but Excel does not. When I go to print an Excel spreadsheet, I do not need to put my code in the printer and I see the job type is set to Normal Print. If I change it to Locked Print, it will stay for that print job, but if I close Excel and open it again, it goes back to Normal Print.
