Using Authentication and Managing Users

Enabling Authentication
To control administrators' and users' access to the machine, perform administrator authentication and
user authentication using login user names and login passwords. To perform authentication, the
authentication function must be enabled. For details about authentication settings, see "Authentication
Setting Procedure".
Specifying Authentication Information to Log on
Users are managed using the personal information managed in the machine's Address Book.
By enabling user authentication, you can allow only people registered in the Address Book to use the
machine. Users can be managed in the Address Book by the user administrator. For information on
specifying information to log on, see "Basic Authentication".
Specifying Which Functions are Available
This can be specified by the user administrator. Specify the functions available to registered users. By
making this setting, you can limit the functions available to users. For information on how to specify
which functions are available, see "Limiting Available Functions".

Ensuring Information Security

Preventing Unauthorized Copying (Unauthorized Copy Prevention)
Using the printer driver, you can embed a mask and pattern in the printed document. For details about
preventing unauthorized copying, see "Preventing Unauthorized Copying". For information on how
to specify Unauthorized Copy Prevention, see "Printing with Unauthorized Copy Prevention and Data
Security for Copying".
Preventing Unauthorized Copying (Data Security for Copying)
Using the printer driver to enable data security for the copying function, you can print a document
with an embedded pattern of hidden text.
To gray out the copy or stored file of a copy-guarded document when the document is copied or
stored, the optional security module is required. For details about Data Security for Copying, see
"Data Security for Copying".
