To prohibit the reuse of recent passwords, the system administrator can specify the interval before a user can
reuse a password. The interval range is from 1–10. If you are changing your password and encounter an error,
contact your system administrator and comply with the password complexity requirements for your printer.

After the system administrator creates a user account or changes or resets the account password using one of
the following options, when you log in, the printer can prompt a password change:
• AAdddd
• EEddiitt
• RReesseett PPaasssswwoorrdd
When the option is enabled, the password set by the system administrator is regarded as a temporary password.
When you are logged in with a temporary password, the printer prompts you to change the password. As a
security feature, you are required to change your password before the first login at the printer. Until the
temporary password is changed, remote authentication attempts through EIP or SNMP fail for the user. Contact
your system administrator for assistance.

After a specified number of invalid login attempts for a user account, the printer locks out the account. If you do
not log in to the printer for a long period of time, your account can be disabled automatically. Contact your
system administrator for assistance.

CONVENIENCE AUTHENTICATION
When Convenience Authorization is enabled, users swipe a pre-programmed identification card through a Proximity
Card Reader at the control panel. To use this method, purchase and install a USB card reader and an authentication
server that supports the Xerox
®
Convenience Authentication API.
SMART CARD
When a Common Access Card system is installed on your Xerox device, access to the printer requires the use of a
Smart Card. There are several models of card readers that are compatible with your device. To access the printer,
insert the pre-programmed identification card into the reader, or place your card on the reader. If extra security
credentials are required, enter the login information at the control panel.
