BEFORE USING THE MACHINE
DEFAULT SETTING
These settings enable or disable user authentication and specify the authentication method.
When user authentication is enabled, each user of the machine is registered. When a user logs in, settings for that user
are applied. This function allows greater control of security and cost management.
In addition, even if the user information is not stored in the machine, it is possible to log in by directly entering user
information stored on an LDAP server. In this case, the login user will be the factory-stored "User". For more information,
see "
Factory-stored users " (page 1-22).
User Authentication
When [User Authentication] is enabled, the login screen
appears before an operation is begun in any mode
except the job status screen*. You must log in as one of
the stored users. (After logging in, you can move freely
through the modes.)
* Except when a print hold (retention) file is used in the
job status screen.
Authentication Method Setting
This selects the authentication method. When using user
authentication, be sure to configure this setting first. The
items configured for users stored after the user
authentication method is set vary depending on the
selected authentication method.
Authenticate a User by Login Name and Password
Standard authentication method using a login name and
password.
Authenticate a User by Login Name, Password and
E-mail Address
In addition to a login name and password, this
authentication method also requires the entry of an
e-mail address.
Authenticate a User by User Number Only
This can be used as a simple authentication method
when network authentication is not used.
Device Account Mode Setting
A specific user can be stored as an auto login user.
When this setting is enabled, login can be performed
automatically.
This function eliminates the bother of logging in but still
allows the settings of the selected user (network
settings, favorite operations, etc.) to be applied.
You can also allow users other than the auto login user
to temporarily log in and work using their own authority
and settings. To allow other users to log in temporarily
when [Device Account Mode] is enabled, select [Allow
Login by Different User].
As an example, this enables uses such as
"authentication for color printing only".
Actions when the Limit of Pages
for Output Jobs
This setting determines whether or not a job will be
completed if the page limit is reached while the job is in
progress.
The following selections are available.
• Job is Stopped when the Limit of Pages is Reached
• Job is Completed even when the Limit of Pages is
Reached
• For the procedure for storing users, see " USER LIST " (page 1-21).
• For more information on login procedures when user authentication is enabled, see " USER AUTHENTICATION " (page
1-15).
• The login screen will vary depending on the
authentication method that is selected. For more
information, see "
USER AUTHENTICATION " (page
1-15).
• When "Authenticate a User by User Number Only"
is selected for the authentication method, network
authentication cannot be used.
• If auto login fails for some reason when auto login is
enabled, or the login user does not have
administrator rights, all system settings or the
system settings (administrator) will lock. In this
event, the administrator should select the [Admin
Password] key in the system settings screen and
log in again.
• To log in as a user other than the auto login user
when [Allow Login by Different User] is enabled,
press the [LOGOUT] key to cancel the auto user
login state. The user authentication screen will
appear to let you log in. After using the machine,
press the [LOGOUT] key to log out.
