Access management is standard included with the printer and can be enabled or disabled via the user authentication option. Access Management is designed to help protect sensitive print jobs and information from unauthorised access. Only the owner of the job can access the job.
When user authentication is enabled:
The sensitive print jobs sent by the job owner are not printed until the job owner authenticates on the system user panel and releases them for printing.
The print jobs are stored in the printer and only the job owner can access them.
Copying and scanning operations are accessible only after the user authenticates on the system user panel.
Three different methods can be used for user authentication:
Username and password:
Username and password are required on the printer user panel.
Smart card:
A valid smart card must be inserted into the smart card reader (plugged into the USB port on the printer).
Contactless card:
A valid contactless card must be hold close to a contactless card reader (plugged into the USB outlet).
These authentication methods are intended for Windows-based environments with Microsoft Active Directory.
The options to scan-to and print-from the home folder are available with the username and password authentication method. After entering authentication on the printer user panel, you can scan a file to (or print a file from) your home directory on the network, as configured for your own account on Microsoft Active Directory. You can access the home directory through the LDAP protocol with an authentication. For the scan-to-home option, you can only retrieve your scans located on your home folder after you have authenticated on your own account on any workstation.
NOTE
The Home folder is a personal and secure external location, you can only use when it is configured by your IT department as part of your infrastructure.
