Accessing the Printer
AAuutthheennttiiccaattiioonn
Authentication is the process of confirming your identity. When the system administrator enables
authentication, the printer compares the information that you provide to another source of
information, such as an LDAP directory. The information can be a user name and password, or the
information stored on a magnetic, proximity, RFID, or smart card. If the information is valid, you are
considered an authenticated user.
There are several ways to authenticate a user:
•User Name/Password - Validate on the Device: This option enables local authentication. Users
prove their identity by typing a user name and password at the control panel or in the Embedded
Web Server. The printer compares the user credentials to the information stored in the user
database. If there are a limited number of users, or you do not have access to an authentication
server, use this authentication method.
•User Name/Password - Validate on the Network: This option enables network authentication.
Users prove their identity by typing a user name and password at the control panel or in the
Embedded Web Server. The printer compares the user credentials to the information stored on an
authentication server.
•Convenience Authentication: If this option is enabled, a card with a magnetic strip or a Radio
Frequency Identification (RFID) card is used. A convenience authentication card is different from
a Smart Card, which uses an embedded chip and typically requires a login and password. If the
optional integrated RFID reader is installed, for authentication, users place a pre-programmed
card over the RFID reader at the control panel.
•Xerox Secure Access - Unified ID System: This option enables authentication for the Xerox
Secure Access Unified ID System. Users present a pre-programmed identification card to a card
reader at the control panel. The printer compares the user credentials to the information stored
on the Xerox
•Smart Cards: This option enables authentication for a Smart Card Reader. Users insert a pre-
programmed identification card in a card reader at the control panel.
Note: The system administrator can allow you to type your user name and password when
Convenience Authentication or Smart Card is the primary authentication method. If the
administrator configures an alternative authentication method, and you misplace your card,
you can still access the printer.

To personalize the local user interface experience, logged-in users can change the appearance and
layout of their home screen, set job programming defaults, and create personalized, one-touch
applications. For details, see Personalize.
Note: To allow the logged-in user to personalize their local user interface experience, the

The Embedded Web Server
The Embedded Web Server is the administration and configuration software that is installed in the
printer. It allows System Administrators to modify network and system settings on the printer
remotely using a Web browser.
You can check the status of the printer, monitor paper and supply levels, and submit and track print
jobs. All these functions can be accessed from the convenience of your computer.
The Embedded Web Server requires:
•A TCP/IP connection between the printer and the network in Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, or Linux
environments.
•TCP/IP and HTTP enabled in the printer.
•A network-connected computer with a Web browser that supports JavaScript.
To install the print driver for a network-connected printer, it is often necessary to know the IP address
of your printer. Also, the IP address is used to access the settings of your printer through the
Embedded Web Server. You can view the IP address of your printer on the control panel or on the
Configuration Report.

You can connect the printer to your computer using a USB cable, Ethernet cable, or wireless
connection. The method that you select depends on how your computer is connected to the network.
A USB connection is a direct connection and is the easiest to set up. An Ethernet connection is used
to connect to a network. If you are using a network connection, it is important to understand how
your computer is connected to the network.
Note: Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Routers,
network hubs, network switches, modems, Ethernet cables, and USB cables are not included
with your printer and require a separate purchase.
USB
If you connect the printer to one computer and do not have a network, use a USB connection. A
USB connection offers fast data speeds, but typically is not as fast as a network connection.
Note: To access the Embedded Web Server, a network connection is required.
Network
If your computer is connected to an office network or home network, use an Ethernet cable to
connect the printer to the network. You cannot connect the printer directly to the computer. A
connection through a router or network switch is required. An Ethernet network can be used for
one or more computers and supports many printers and systems simultaneously. An Ethernet
connection is typically faster than USB and allows you direct access to the settings of the printer
using the Embedded Web Server.
Wireless Network
If your environment includes a wireless router or wireless access point, you can connect the printer
to the network with a wireless connection. A wireless network connection provides the same access
and services as a wired connection. A wireless network connection is typically faster than USB and
allows direct access to the settings of the printer using the Embedded Web Server.

specific demands of your workflows. Personalization enables individual logged-in users to work more
productively, and ensures that the features and functions displayed meet individual user needs,
improving efficiency.
Personalization allows you to configure apps, and hide, show, and rearrange apps on the Home screen
to suit your job priorities. You can create 1-Touch Apps to save and simplify lengthy or frequent
workflows. After you create 1-Touch Apps, they appear on the user Home screen. For each app, you
can hide or show individual features and configure default settings to meet your needs, and save job
settings for repeated use.
System administrators can use Customization to configure settings for all users. Customization allows
the system administrator to do the following:
•Hide, show, and rearrange apps on the Home screen
•Create 1-Touch Apps
•Hide or show app features
•Configure and save the default settings
For details, contact your system administrator, or refer to the System Administrator Guide at www.
xerox.com/office/ALC81XXdocs.
Note: Personalization settings configured by individual users override any equivalent
Customization settings configured by the system administrator.
