System Administrators
These are users who can register and change system settings.
A system administrator uses a specific user ID called System Administrator ID.
To enter the System Administration mode, type the System Administrator ID into the
user ID entry field on the authentication screen.
Authenticated Users
These are users who are registered on the machine.
When using a restricted service, an authenticated user is prompted to type the user ID
and passcode on the authentication screen.
Unauthenticated Users
These are users who are not registered with the machine.
An unauthenticated user cannot use restricted services.
General Users
These are users who are not permitted to use the machine in the authentication mode.
Types of Authentication
Authentication is carried out using a user ID registered on the machine or a user ID
registered on a remote accounting server.
The following four different authentication methods are offered according to the
registration condition of user information.
îš„Local machine authentication
Local machine authentication uses the user information registered on the machine to
manage authentication.
The print or fax data sent directly from a computer can be received on the machine after
being authenticated by cross-checking the authentication information pre-configured
on a client's fax driver with that registered on the machine.
For information on configuring drivers, refer to the online help provided for each driver.
