User Authentication (Access Control)

Access control refers to the function with which authenticated users can use limited operations.

Before using the machine, authentication is required. Information necessary for user authentication is any of the following: user name and password, PIN (personal identification number), and IC card.

Administrator of the machine needs to register user information, set authentication method, and enable access control so that the access control function can be used.

For the preparation process to use the access control function, refer to "

Administrator)

• To use IC card authentication, connecting an IC card reader is required.

• IC card reader is sold separately. TWN4 MIFARE NFC version P by Elatec is recommended.

• If you cannot perform operation after you are authenticated, ask the administrator if you are authorized to perform the operation.

• Preparation (For Administrator)
