AUTHENTICATION BY SINGLE SIGN-ON

When the user authentication is used, you must enter your user name and password to print from a printer driver.
The Single Sign-on function can be used when Active Directory authentication is used on both the machine and the computer.
When you use this function and print from the printer driver, the print job is sent to the machine using the authentication information that you used to log in to the computer. This allows easy printing of jobs from the printer driver without the need to enter your user name or password each time you print when user authentication is enabled.

Authentication by Single Sign-on requires that Active Directory authentication be performed on the machine and your computer. This can only be used when your computer is running Windows.

  • If you logged in to the machine in advance before using Single Sign-on, you will have the permissions of the user account you used to log in. If you use Single Sign-on without logging in to the machine, the user permissions will be those of "User". This may limit the functions that you can use.
  • If Single Sign-on is used without logging in to the machine, the user name in the job log will be the name set by printer driver. If the user name is not set by printer driver, the user name in the job log will be the computer login name.
