SYSTEM SETTINGS►USER CONTROL
Authentication Method Setting
This selects the authentication method. When using user authentication, be sure to configure this setting first. The items
to be configured for users stored after setting the user authentication method vary depending on the selected
authentication method.
Authenticate a User by Login Name and Password
Standard authentication method using a login name and password.
"Authenticate a User by Login Name, Password and E-mail Address"
This authentication also checks the e-mail address, in addition to the login name and password of the user.
Authenticate a User by User Number Only
Use this option for simple authentication if you skip the network authentication.
• The login screen will vary depending on the authentication method that is selected.
For details, see
"USER AUTHENTICATION (page 1-32)
• When "Authenticate a User by User Number Only" is selected for the authentication method, network authentication
cannot be used.
Device Account Mode Setting
A specific user can be registered as an auto login user. When this option is enabled, the registered user can log in the
machine automatically.
This function can eliminate each login procedure on the authentication screen and apply the selected user settings
(such as network authentication and favorite operations). As an example, this enables uses such as "authentication for
color copying only".
Also, you can temporarily log in as a user other than the auto login user, and operate the machine with the privileges of
this user. To allow other users to log in temporarily when [Device Account Mode] is enabled, select [Allow Login by
Different User].
• If you have logged in as the Auto Login user, and if you have failed automatic login due to some reasons or if you do not
have the administrator's privileges, you cannot use the general setting modes or Setting mode. In that case, the
administrator should tap the [Administrator Password] key on the Setting mode screen and log in again.
• To log in as a user other than a fixed user when [Allow Login by Different User] is enabled, tap the [Logout] key to cancel the
fixed user login state. When the user authentication screen appears, log in as the desired user again. After you have used
the machine, tap the [Logout] key to log out as the current user.
Login User
This setting is used to select the auto login user when auto user login is enabled.
Actions when the Limit of Pages for Output Jobs
This setting determines whether or not a job will be completed if the page limit is reached while the job is in progress.
The following settings can be configured.
• Job is Completed even when the Limit of Pages is Reached
• Job is Stopped when the Limit of Pages is Reached
• "After reaching to the page limit, cancel the job and delete the job during receiving"
A Warning when Login Fails
If a login fails three times in succession, a warning is displayed and further login is disabled for five minutes. This
prevents an unauthorized person from attempting to guess a password. (The number of failed login attempts is retained
even if the power is turned off.)
Locking of the operation panel for five minutes can be canceled by selecting [User Control] in "Setting mode" → [Default
Settings] → [Release the Lock on Machine Operation Panel].
