Dell B3460dn Mono Laser Printer - Manual (Page 7)

There are two ways to secure access to the printer:
• Enable a secure idle screen that restricts access to the entire home screen. When users insert a Smart Card or touch
the screen, they will be prompted to authenticate before they can access the home screen.
Note: The Background and Idle Screen application must be installed and running on the printer to enable this
functionality.
• Restrict access to individual applications and functions. Users will be able to access the home screen, but when they
touch a secured home screen icon or attempt to use a secured function, they will be prompted to authenticate
before they can access that application or function. You can secure access to:
– Installed applications, such as Scan to Network
– Individual functions of installed applications, such as the Change Background function of the Background and
Idle Screen application
– Built
‑in printer functions, such as copy and fax
Users will still be able to access unsecured applications and functions without having to authenticate.
Setting up a security template
Before you can secure access to applications and functions, you need to create a security template that uses Smart
Card Authentication Client to obtain user credentials. You can then assign this security template to each application
and function you want to protect.
1 Create a building block.
a From the Embedded Web Server, click Security > Security Setup.
b Under the Advanced Security Setup heading, click the building block (or blocks) appropriate for your
environment, and then configure it.
Note: For more information on configuring a specific type of building block, see the “Configuring building
blocks” section of the Embedded Web Server Administrator’s Guide for your printer.
2 Create a security template.
a From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings or Configuration.
b Click Security > Security Setup.
c Under the Advanced Security Setup heading, click Security Template > Add a Security Template.
d Type a name for the security template (for example, Smart Card).
e From the Authentication Setup menu, select Smart Card Authentication Client, and then click Save Template.
f Verify that your template appears in the Manage Security Templates list.
Setting up group authorization for the Security Template
Notes:
• This method applies only to printers running Embedded Solutions Framework (eSF) version 3.0 or later.
• Make sure you have configured the Group Authorization List from the Smart Card Authentication Client
application configuration settings. For more information, see
“Configuring advanced settings” on page 13 .
