Settings: Disabled
• Simple (All)
The printer authenticates printer jobs and remote settings that have authentication information,
and cancels the jobs and settings that fail authentication.
Printer jobs and settings without authentication information are performed without being
authenticated.
• Simple (Limitation)
You can specify the range to apply [Simple (Limitation)] to by specifying [Parallel Interface
(Simple)], [USB (Simple)], and the client's IPv4 address.
Printer Job Types
1. If the "User Authentication" and "With Encryption" check boxes are both selected in the PCL
driver dialog box: Personal authentication information is added to the printer job. The printer
driver applies advanced encryption to the login passwords. The printer driver encryption key
enables driver encryption and prevents the login password from being stolen.
For details about prohibiting the use of simple encryption using "Simple Encryption", see
p.129 "Specifying the Extended Security Functions".
2. If the "User Authentication" and "With Encryption" check boxes are both selected in the PCL
driver dialog box: Personal authentication information is added to the printer job. The printer
driver applies simple encryption to login passwords.
For details about turning off "Simple Encryption" and allowing the use of simple encryption, see
p.129 "Specifying the Extended Security Functions".
3. If the "User Authentication" check box is not selected in the PCL driver dialog box: Personal
authentication information is added to the printer job and the printer job is cancelled.
4. When using the PostScript 3 printer driver, the printer job contains user code information.
Personal authentication information is not added to the printer job but the user code information
is. This also applies to recovery/parallel printing using a PCL printer driver that does not support
authentication.
5. When using the PostScript 3 printer driver, the printer job does not contain user code information.
Neither personal authentication information nor user code information is added to the printer
job. This also applies to recovery/parallel printing using a PCL printer driver that does not support
authentication.
6. A printer job or PDF file is sent from a host computer without a printer driver and is printed via
LPR. Personal authentication information is not added to the printer job.
7. A PDF file is printed via ftp. Personal authentication is performed using the user ID and password
used for logging in via ftp. However, the user ID and password are not encrypted.
