3.1 User Authentication Function 3
3 User Operations
3.1 User Authentication Function
When [ON (MFP)] or [ON (External Server)] (Active Directory) is set for Authentication Method of the Admin-
istrator Settings, the User Authentication function implements authentication of the user of this machine be-
fore he or she actually uses it through the User Password that consists of 8 to 64 digits. During the
authentication procedure, the User Password entered for the authentication purpose appears as "*" or "
●"
on the display.
After authentication by a user is successful using the User Name and Password entered from the control pan-
el with the ID & Print Setting function set in the machine, the user can automatically print his or her print data
saved in the ID & Print User Box. Because printing occurs after user authentication is performed via the con-
trol panel of this machine, it is suitable for printing highly confidential documents.
When the Enhanced Security Mode is set to [ON], the number of times in which authentication fails is count-
ed.
NOTICE
If [ON (MFP)] is set for the authentication method and [Pause] is set for a user or account by the Administrator
of the machine, that particular user or account cannot log onto the machine. For details, contact the Admin-
istrator of the machine.
3.1.1 Performing user authentication
0 Save the ID & Print Document through the printer driver on the PC side. As in the ordinary user authen-
tication procedure, enter the User Name and User Password in the printer driver on the PC side and
then specify [ID & Print]. The password entered is displayed as "*." If the User Password does not cor-
respond to the User Name entered, the ID & Print Document is discarded without being saved. Entry of
a wrong User Password is counted as unauthorized access. If a wrong User Password is entered a pre-
determined number of times (once to three times) or more set by the Administrator of the machine, the
subsequent authentication operation is an access lock state and it is not possible to transmit the print
job. As a result, the access lock state disables user authentication attempts from the control panel or
PageScope Web Connection. To cancel the access lock state, the Administrator of the machine must
perform the Release Setting. Contact the Administrator of the machine.
0 Before operating the machine, the user him/herself should change the User Password from that regis-
tered by the Administrator of the machine. For details of changing the User Password, see page 3-12.
For details of User Name and User Password, ask the Administrator of the machine.
0 If the User Password is changed by the Administrator of the machine during operation of this machine,
the user him/herself should immediately change the User Password.
0 Make absolutely sure that your User Password is not known by any other users.
0 Do not leave the machine while you are in the user (account) operation mode. If it is absolutely neces-
sary to leave the machine, be sure first to log off from the user (account) operation mode.
0 If any User Name not registered with this machine is authenticated through User Authentication when
[ON (External Server)] (Active Directory) is set for Authentication Method, the User Name is automati-
cally registered with this machine.
