Authentication for the secure 
operation 
 
The machine has a unique Authentication feature that restricts the authority to use functions. 
This section contains information for System Administrators and general users on the features 
used to change the settings and on the setting procedures. 
 
Users Controlled by Authentication 
The following explains the user types that are controlled by the Authentication feature. 
Users are classified into the following four types. The Authentication feature restricts operations 
according to the user type. 
 
Machine Administrator 
The machine administrator uses a special user ID. Only the machine administrator is able to 
change the Machine Administrator Password. The machine administrator is a user who can enter 
the System Administration mode and change the machine settings that are related to security 
features and services that are restricted. To enter the system administration mode, enter the 
Machine Administrator ID into the user ID entry field on the authentication screen. 
 
Authenticated Users (with System Administrator Privileges) 
Users to whom the system administrator privileges are granted. To use a restricted service, this 
type of users must enter their user IDs on the authentication screen. This type of users have the 
same privileges as the machine administrator in operating the machine, however, they cannot 
change the Machine Administrator Password. 
 
Authenticated Users (with no System Administrator Privileges) 
Users who are registered on the machine or the remote server, and to whom system administrator 
privileges are not granted. To use a restricted service, this type of users must enter their user IDs 
on the authentication screen. 
 
Unauthenticated Users (Guest Users) 
These are users who are not registered with the machine. Unauthenticated Users cannot use 
services that are restricted. 
 
 
Roles…
