When Printing Function is Restricted

When the printing function is restricted, only authorized users are able to use that function.

Users will be authenticated in the printer driver.

Important

  • When print jobs are restricted, you can only authenticate through the PCL6 printer driver. Printing from the PostScript 3 printer driver will not be possible.

The table below shows how users can be authenticated to use the printing function.
