User Authentication (Access Control)

This section describes the user authentication and access control functions.

The user authentication and access control functions allow you to limit the functions available to each user. If access control is enabled, the user authentication is required before using this machine. If the authentication succeeds, only functions specified in advance can be used.

Your machine has the following three methods of user authentication.

  • User name and password

  • PIN (personal identification number)

  • IC card

To control access to the machine, register users in advance. You can register up to 5,000 users.

If access control is enabled, according to the setting, the user must enter user name and password, PIN, or IC card information to log in to the machine.
