Administrators - Ricoh SP 4510DN User Manual

1. Getting Started

Administrators

Administrators manage user access to the printer and various other important functions and settings.
When an administrator controls limited access and settings, first select the printer's administrator and
enable the authentication function before using the printer. When the authentication function is enabled,
the login user name and login password are required in order to use the printer. The role of
administrator for this printer is divided into four categories according to their function: user administrator,
machine administrator, network administrator, and file administrator. Sharing administrator tasks eases
the burden on individual administrators while at the same time limiting unauthorized operations by an
administrator. Multiple administrator roles can be assigned to one administrator and one role can also
be shared by more than one administrator. A supervisor can also be set up, who can then change the
administrators' passwords.
Administrators cannot use functions such as printing. To use these functions, the administrator must be
authenticated as the user.
For instructions on registering the administrator, see page 19 "Registering and Changing
Administrators", and for details about changing the administrator's password, see page 26
"Supervisor". For details about, see page 29 "Users".
• If user authentication is not possible because of a problem with the hard disk or network, you can
use the printer by accessing it using administrator authentication and disabling user authentication.
For example, you can do this if you need to use the printer urgently.
