Device Settings
Printer Driver 3-9
User Login
With this feature, an administrator can provide job restriction by user, in contrast
to the Job accounting feature, which assigns privileges by division or
department. A maximum of 100 login user names and passwords can be
created and stored in the printer driver and registered on the printing system.
Users are identified by user name and password. The user name can be in the
user principal name UPN format: username@domain.com. This feature limits
printing privileges to specified users for secure printing and accounting. The
number of pages printed by each user is tracked by the printing system.
Users added in the printer driver must also be manually registered at the
printing system’s operation panel.
In a client/server environment, some options are unavailable to a client.
For a restricted user in a client/server environment, the Administrator button in
Device Settings becomes the Identity button. A user can enter user login data
in the Identity Settings dialog box.
User Login Options
User login settings selected in the driver are applied to every print job sent from
your computer.
Use specific name
This option can be used to specify a name and password to use the same
User login for every print job. If this option is selected, the user does not
have to type the name and password for each print job.
A client computer in a client/server environment can accept the default name
and password set by the administrator or type another name and password.
Clicking Reset restores the default values.
Prompt for name
This option prompts the user for a name and password. You can use a name
that is not on the list, and the name is not added to the list. When sending a
print job, type a name and password when prompted, then click OK to print.
Prompt for name and validate
This option prompts for a name and password. For the job to print, the name
and password entered must be on the Login user name list. You can use
the login user names entered in the Login user name list of the driver.
When sending a print job, type a name and password when prompted, then
click OK to print. This option ensures that the job prints, only after verifying
that the selected name is saved in the driver.
Validate user name (computer) or prompt for login user name
This option searches for the Windows User name in the driver’s Login user
name list. Validation is done every time the user prints a job. If the Windows
User name exists in the Login user name list, the associated driver Login
user name and password from the list are used for the print job. If the Login
user name is not associated with the Windows User name, a message
appears to prompt you to enter the Login user name and password you
want associated with your name.
If a match is not found, the driver checks for administrator or user
permissions. With user permissions, the print job is canceled, and the user is
prompted to contact an administrator to establish printing permissions. With
administrator permissions, the driver prompts for the Login user name and
password. Along with the Windows User name, these are then added to the
list so succeeding print jobs do not require the user to enter a Login user
name and password again.
