User Authentication Function

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.
