identity by typing a user name and password at the control panel or in the Embedded Web Server. The printer

compares the user credentials to the information stored in the user database. If there are a limited number of

users, or you do not have access to an authentication server, use this authentication method.

their identity by typing a user name and password at the control panel or in the Embedded Web Server. The

printer compares the user credentials to the information stored on an authentication server.

• C C o o n n v v e e n n i i e e n n c c e e A A u u t t h h e e n n t t i i c c a a t t i i o o n n : If this option is enabled, a card with a magnetic strip or RFID is used. A

convenience authentication card is different from a smart card, which uses an embedded chip and typically

requires a login and password. If the optional integrated RFID reader is installed, for authentication, users place

a pre-programmed card over the RFID reader at the control panel.

• X X e e r r o o x x W W o o r r k k p p l l a a c c e e C C l l o o u u d d : This option enables cloud-based authentication. The printer connects directly to the

Xerox

Workplace Cloud solution. This method provides multiple options for authentication. To prove their

identity, users can use mobile authentication methods such as NFC or QR Codes, use an identification card, or

type a user name and password.

Unified ID System. Users present a pre-programmed identification card to a card reader at the control panel.

The printer compares the user credentials to the information stored on the Xerox

identity provider (IdP). The device establishes a secure connection with the IdP, then passes the user credentials

to the IdP for authentication.

• S S m m a a r r t t C C a a r r d d s s : This option enables authentication for a smart card reader. Users insert a pre-programmed

identification card in a card reader at the control panel.

• C C u u s s t t o o m m A A u u t t h h e e n n t t i i c c a a t t i i o o n n : To use this authentication method, a feature installation key is required. After

entering the feature installation key, the customized authentication methods provided by Xerox are available for

configuration.

Note: The system administrator can allow you to type your user name and password when Convenience

Authentication or Smart Cards is set as the primary authentication method. If the administrator configures

an alternative authentication method, and you misplace your card, you can still access the printer.
