2. Configuring User Authentication

Printer Job Authentication

Printer job authentication is a function allowing user authentication to be applied to print jobs.
User authentication is supported by the PCL and PostScript3 drivers. The PostScript3 driver supports User
Code authentication only.

Printer Job Authentication Levels

The security level for "Entire" is the highest, followed by "Simple (Limitation)", and at the bottom, "Simple
(All)".
• Entire
Select this to authenticate all print jobs and remote configuration.
The machine authenticates all printer jobs and remote settings, and cancels jobs and settings that
fail authentication.
To print in an environment that does not support authentication, select [Simple (All)] or [Simple
(Limitation)].
• Simple (Limitation)
Select this to restrict the range of [Simple (All)].
The specified range can be printed regardless of the authentication. Authentication will be applied
to addresses outside this range.
You can specify whether to apply [Simple (All)] to parallel connection, USB connection, and the
user's IPv4 address. The range of application to IPv6 addresses can be configured from Web
Image Monitor.
• Simple (All)
Select this if you want to print with a printer driver or device that cannot be identified by the
machine or if authentication is not required for printing.
Printer jobs and settings without authentication information are performed without being
authenticated.
The machine authenticates printer jobs and remote settings that have authentication information,
and cancels the jobs and settings that fail authentication.
Unauthorized users may be able to use the machine since printing is allowed without user
authentication.

Printer Job Types

Depending on the combination of printer job authentication level and printer job type, the machine may
not print properly. Set an appropriate combination according to the operating environment.
