Log in with a domain user account

When there are no configured domains, you do not see the domain selection on the login panel. When at least one domain has been added, a pull-down list to select a domain is part of the login panel.

Your corporate username combined with the selected domain and the suffix defined for the domain make a Universal Personal Name (UPN).

1. Select the domain from the [Domain] list.

2. Enter your username and password.

3. Touch or click [OK].

Log in with a factory defined user account

When you use a factory defined user account, you can select the user account from a list.

1. When the domain selection is displayed, select the hostname or IP address of the printer.

2. Select the factory defined user account from the list.

3. Enter the password.

4. Touch or click [OK].

   The name of the user account is displayed.

   

Log in with a local user account

When you use a local user account, you need to log in with a username.

1. When the domain selection is displayed, select the hostname or IP address of the printer.

2. Select [Personal username] from the list.

3. Enter your username and password.

4. Touch or click [OK].

   After a successful login, the name of your user account is displayed.

   

Log in with your smart card

Your organisation can use smart cards to identify users of the printer. A single smart card can be used for the authentication of one or multiple user accounts.
