Accessing the Printer
The system administrator can set access rights on the printer to ensure that unauthorized users cannot
access the printer. If the system administrator configures authentication and authorization, users require
a login and password to access some or all of the features of the printer. The administrator can also
configure accounting to require an accounting code to access tracked features.
Authentication
Authentication is the process of confirming your identity. When the system administrator enables
authentication, the printer compares the information that you provide to another source of information,
such as an LDAP directory. The information can be a user name and password, or the information stored
on a magnetic or proximity ID card. If the information is valid, you are considered an authenticated user.
The system administrator can set permissions so that authentication is required when accessing features
at the control panel, in CentreWare Internet Services, or in the print driver.
If the administrator configures local or network authentication, you identify yourself by typing your user
name and password at the control panel or in CentreWare Internet Services. If the administrator
configures card reader authentication, you identify yourself by swiping a magnetic or proximity card at
the control panel and typing a passcode.
Note: The system administrator can allow you to type your user name and password when Smart
Card authentication is the primary authentication method. If the administrator configures an
alternative authentication method, and you misplace your card, you can still access the printer.
