PRINTING WHEN THE USER AUTHENTICATION FUNCTION IS ENABLED

The user information (such as login name and password) that must be entered varies depending on the authentication method being used, so check with the administrator of the machine before printing.

  • If you have configured "Printing Policy" on the [Configuration] tab so that user authentication is always performed, users are required to be authenticated for each print job. This is done by entering authentication information in a dialog box that appears each time printing is performed.
  • The machine's user authentication function cannot be used when the PPD driver*is installed and the Windows standard PS printer driver is used.
    • For this reason, the machine can be configured to prohibit users from executing printing unless their user information is stored in the machine.

    * The PPD driver enables the machine to print using the Windows standard PS printer driver.

In the printer driver properties window of the application, select the printer driver of the machine and click the [Preferences] button.

The button that is used to open the printer driver properties window (usually [Property] or [Preferences]) may vary depending on the application.

Enter your user information.

  1. Click the [Job Handling] tab.
  2. Enter your user information.

    • When authentication is performed by login name, select [Login Name] and enter your login name.
    • When authentication is performed by login name/password, click [Login Name/Password] and enter your login name and password. Enter the password using 1 to 32 characters
    • When the machine's authentication destination is Active Directory, [Single Sign-on] can be selected. For information on single sign-on, refer to "AUTHENTICATION BY SINGLE SIGN-ON".
    • When authentication is performed by user number, select [User Number] and enter your 5 to 8 digit user number.

  3. Enter the user name and job name as necessary.

    • Click the [User Name] checkbox, and enter your user name using up to 32 characters. The entered user name will appear on the touch panel of the machine. If you do not enter a user name, your PC login name will appear.
    • Click the [Job Name] checkbox, and enter a job name using up to 30 characters. The entered job name will appear as a file name on the touch panel of the machine. If you do not enter a job name, the file name set in the application will appear.
    • To have a confirmation window appear before printing starts, select the [Auto Job Control Review] checkbox.

  4. Click the [OK] button to execute printing.
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.
