Configuring User Authentication
There are five types of user authentication methods: User Code authentication, Basic authentication,
Windows authentication, LDAP authentication, and Integration Server authentication. To use user
authentication, select an authentication method using Web Image Monitor or control panel, and then
make the required settings for the authentication. The settings depend on the authentication method. First
specify administrator authentication, and then specify user authentication.
• If user authentication is not possible because of hard disk or network problems, you can use the
printer by accessing it using administrator authentication and disabling user authentication. For
example, you can do this if you need to use the printer urgently.
