User authentication
Secure printing, copying and scanning operations with the User
authentication
Introduction
In order to increase document confidentiality, the users can secure printing/copying/scanning
operations with the user authentication.
The 'User authentication' feature is an option.
When the 'User authentication' feature is enabled:
• The jobs are not printed until the owner of the job authenticates on the system user panel.
The print jobs are stored in the printer and only the owner of the jobs can access them.
• Copying and scanning operations are accessible only after the user authenticates on the
system user panel.
• You cannot retrieve scanned files that are stored locally on the controller.
User authentication methods
One of the three following methods can be used for user authentication:
• User name and password
The user name and password are required on the printer panel. This authentication method is
mainly targeted to Windows based environment (Microsoft Active Directory).
• Smart card (PKI card compatible with MS Active Directory Certificates Services)
A valid smart card must be inserted into the smart card reader (plugged into the USB outlet).
• Contactless card
A valid card without contact must be passed over a contactless card reader (plugged into the
USB outlet). The authentication method is mainly targeted to a Windows based environment
(Microsoft Active Directory).
