Operation Guide for User Authentication
User authentication enables the following operations.

Only authorized users can use the printer.
Individual users of the Printer are issued a unique authentication code (a PIN
code or login name and password). When the user operates the Printer, the
authentication code is required to identicate the user.
With the authentication function, users without an authentication code cannot
oerate the Printer.
The Printer can use the following two methods of authentication to conrm a user’s
identity.
- PIN code authentication

Each user is assigned an authentication code (1 to 63 characters)
called a PIN code.
- Password authentication

Each user is assigned a login name (between 1 and 63 characters) and
a password (between 0 to 31 characters) as an authentication code.
TIP

Password authentication provides stronger security than PIN code
authentication.
When using user authentication, an authentication code must be entered before
using the Printer.
TIP

Authentication using smart cards (option) can also be used together
with PIN code authentication or password authentication.

When using user authentication, you are recommended to set Printer
Administration to On. When Printer Administration is On, only users
with printer administration privileges can register Printer’s users.
