Administrator
There are four types of administrators according to administrative function: machine administrator,
network
administrator, file administrator, and user administrator. We recommend that only one person
takes each administrator role.
In this way, you can spread the workload and limit unauthorized operation by a single administrator.
Basically, administrators make printer settings and manage the printer; but they cannot perform normal
operation including printing.
Supervisor
The Supervisor can reset the administrator's passwords in cases such as they are lost or there is a
change in the administrators.
The supervisor can neither perform normal operations nor specify default settings.
User
A user performs normal operations on the printer, such as printing.
File Creator (Owner)
This is a user who can store files in the printer and authorize other users to view, edit, or delete those
files.
Registered User
Any user whose personal information is registered in the Address Book, and has a login user name
and login password.
Administrator Authentication
Administrators are authenticated by their login user name and login password, supplied by the
administrator, when specifying the printer's settings or accessing the printer over the network.
User Authentication
To access the printer's settings or use the printer over a network, users must be authenticated. Users
are authenticated after they correctly enter their pre-registered login user name and password.
The user's login user name and password are stored in the printer's Address Book. Personal information
can be obtained from the Windows domain controller (Windows authentication), LDAP Server (LDAP
authentication), or Integration Server (Integration Server authentication) connected to the printer via
the network. The "Integration Server" is the computer on which Authentication Manager is installed.
Login
This action is required for administrator authentication and user authentication. Enter your login user
name and login password on the printer's control panel. A login user name and login password may
also be required when accessing the printer over the network or using such utilities as Web Image
Monitor.
