Login methods provide different levels of authentication and allow different ways to access the
printer. You can choose from the following login methods:
• Simple: For the Simple level, users type their user name or select it from a list at the control panel
or in the Embedded Web Server. The printer uses no other levels of authentication. If you do not
need secure access to the printer, use this method.
• Local: For the Local level, to prove their identity, users type their user name and password at the
control panel or in the Embedded Web Server. The printer compares the user credentials to the
information the user database stored in the printer. If you have a limited number of users, or do
not have access to an authentication server, use this authentication method.
• Network: For the Network level, to prove their identity, users type their 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.
Note: The printer can use one of the following authentication server types: Kerberos (Windows
ADS), SMB (Windows ADS), or LDAP.
• Convenience: For the Convenience level, users swipe a pre-programmed identification card at the
control panel. To use this method, purchase and install a USB card reader and use an
authentication server that supports the Xerox
• Smart Card: For the Smart Card level, users insert a pre-programmed identification card in a card
reader at the control panel. Users also type their user name and password. To use this method,
purchase and install a Smart Card reader system.
Note: When you open the Login Method page, the page indicates the current login method by
a check mark and an Edit button. Any unselected methods display a Select button. To edit the
current method, click Edit. To select a different method, click Select.
