User ID Authentication
This authentication method requires users to enter their user IDs and password on the machine's control panel.
The machine authenticates users by means of the user information registered on the machine or a remote server.
There are two types of authentication methods according to where the user information is stored.
 Login to Local Accounts
When this option is selected, the machine checks the user information registered on the machine to manage
authentication.
When the machine receives print data directly from a computer, the machine checks the account information
designated via the print driver on the client computer, against the account information registered on the machine
to authenticate the user before accepting a job.
For information on driver settings, refer to the Help section of the driver.
 Login to Remote Accounts
With this authentication method, the machine performs authentication by querying a remote authentication
server. No user information is registered to the machine.
With remote authentication, the user information maintained on the remote authentication server (Active
Directory (LDAP connection)) or Authentication Management server can be used) is used for authentication.
