1.1 Overview of printer functions

The printer driver is software that specifies how to use the printing functions of this machine from other application software. When you install the printer driver on your computer, you can use a variety of this machine’s printing functions. Furthermore, the printer driver supports a wide range of connection methods and provides flexibility in various environments.

It also supports direct printing, a printing method that does not use the printer driver, and printing from a USB memory device.

1.2 System requirements

For Windows

Item Specifications

Operating system The supported versions of the operating system vary depending on the installed

printer driver. For details, refer to page 2-6.

CPU Any processor of the same or higher specifications as recommended for your oper-

ating system

2.5.4 Attaching authentication information

Printing when authentication is set

When printing a document in an environment where user authentication or account track is employed, you need to send the authentication information (user name and password) to this machine to execute printing. This requirement limits the users who can use this machine, preventing unauthorized use by a third party.

When this machine receives a print job from a user who is not permitted to print, or a print job that does not contain authentication information, this machine automatically discards the job.

- This function is available when an optional Hard Disk is installed.

- A print job that does not contain authentication information is a print job that is sent without correctly

configuring the User Authentication/Account Track setting using the printer driver even though the User Authentication/Account Track setting is configured on this machine. The status in which the User Authentication/Account Track setting is not configured correctly means that the [Auto] check box of [Acquire Settings...] is cleared and [User Authentication]/[Account Track] of [Device Option] is set to [None] in the [Configure] tab of the [Properties] windows of the printer driver. In this status, if you select [Print] in [Job Retention] of the [Basic] tab at the time of printing to execute a print job, it is handled as a print job that does not contain authentication information.

- If [ID & Print] is set to [Enable] on [Security] - [ID & Print Settings] of Web Connection, an ordinary print

job is handled as an ID & Print job (default: [Disable]). For details on the ID & Print function, refer to page 2-46.

2.5.5 Printing at the same time as authentication (ID & Print)

ID & Print

ID & Print is a function that saves print data to the HDD of this machine when user authentication is installed. Because the data is not printed straight away, this function prevents printed materials from going missing or being left unattended.

To print data from the HDD, you need to perform user authentication on this machine; this function is particularly suitable for safely printing highly confidential documents. When you are successfully authenticated, the print data of the login user is automatically printed. This enhances security as well as ensures smooth operation.

This function is available when optional Hard Disk and Authentication Unit are installed while IC card authentication is employed.
