User login provides job restriction by user, in contrast to the Job accounting
feature, which assigns privileges by division or department. A maximum of 1000
login user names and passwords can be registered at the printing system and
1000 User IDs and passwords can be stored in the printer driver for use with
multiple printing systems.
User login adds users with a user name and password. The user name can
be in user principal name (UPN) format: username@domain.com. The UPN
format supports multiple domains. The UPN format is not needed if the default
domain registered in the device is used.
This feature limits printing privileges to specified users for secure printing and
accounting. The number of pages printed by each user will be tracked by the
printing system.
Users added in the printer driver must also be manually registered at the
printing system's operation panel.
User login settings selected in the driver are applied to every print job sent from
your computer.
Use specific name
This option can be used to specify a name and password to use the same
User login for every print job. If this option is selected, the user does not
have to type the name and password for each print job.
A client computer in a client/server environment can accept the default name
and password set by the administrator or type another name and password.
Clicking Reset restores the default values.
Prompt for name
This option prompts the user for a name and password. You can use a name
that is not on the list, and the name is not added to the list. When sending a
print job, type a name and password when prompted, then click OK to print.
Prompt for name and validate
This option prompts for a name and password. For the job to print, the name
and password entered must be on the Login user name list. You can use
the Login user names entered in the Login user name list of the driver.
When sending a print job, type a name and password when prompted, then
click OK to print. This option ensures that the job prints, only after verifying
that the selected name is saved in the driver.
Validate user name (computer) or prompt for login user name
This option searches for the Windows User name in the driver's Login user
name list. Validation is done every time the user prints a job. If the Windows
User name exists in the Login user name list, the associated driver Login
user name and password from the list are used for the print job. To release
the print job, the user must enter the Login user name and password at the
printing system operation panel.
If a match is not found, the driver checks for administrator or user
permissions. With user permissions, the print job is canceled, and the user is
prompted to contact an administrator to establish printing permissions. With
administrator permissions, the driver prompts for the Login user name and
password. Along with the Windows User name, these are then added to the
list so succeeding print jobs do not require the user to enter a Login user
name and password again.
