Features controlled by Authentication

7- 2
Two types of authentication are used by the machine depending
on where user information is stored:
Direct Authentication uses the user information stored in the
machine to manage authentication.
Network Authentication uses the user information from a remote
account server to manage authentication.
User information on a remote account server is sent to, and stored
in the machine. When the user information on the server is
changed, that information must be sent from the server to update
the machine.
Network authentication allows a number of machines to use user
information managed centrally.
External accounting services supported by the machine include
CentreWare.
Verifies remote accounting server. Can be used to manage user
information managed on the remote accounting server. User
information cannot be registered on the machine.
KEY POINT: Set the user ID for the remote authentication server
less than 32 characters.
This section describes features of the machine controlled by using
the Authentication feature.
The features controlled depend on the way in which of the two
ways the machine is used:
• Local access
• Remote access
For information about mailbox and job flow sheet control when the
Authentication feature is enabled, refer to "Authentication: Job
Flow Sheet & Mailbox" on page 7-4.
