Depending on the combination of printer job authentication level and printer job type, the machine may not print properly. Set an appropriate combination according to the operating environment.
When user authentication is disabled, printing is possible for all job types.
Printer job types: A printer job is specified when:
The [User Authentication] check box is selected in the PCL printer driver or in the PCL universal driver.
The [User Authentication] and [With Encryption] check boxes are selected in the PCL mini-driver*.
* The authentication function cannot be used with IA-64 operating systems.
The [User Authentication] check box is selected in the PCL mini-driver.
The [User Authentication] check box is not selected in the PCL printer driver or in the PCL mini-driver*.
* The authentication function cannot be used with IA-64 operating systems.
The User Code is entered using the PostScript 3 printer driver or PS3 universal driver.
This also applies to recovery/parallel printing using a PCL printer driver that does not support authentication.
The User Code is not entered using the PostScript 3 printer driver or PS3 universal driver. This also applies to recovery/parallel printing using a PCL printer driver that does not support authentication.
A printer job or PDF file is sent from a host computer that does not have a printer driver and is printed via LPR. This can be also applied to Mail to Print. For details about Mail to Print, see "Receiving E-mail by Internet Fax/Mail to Print", Fax.
A PDF file is printed via ftp. Personal authentication is performed using the user ID and password used for logging in via ftp. However, the user ID and password are not encrypted.

*1 Printing with User Code authentication is classified as B.
A: Printing is possible regardless of user authentication.
B: Printing is possible if user authentication is successful. If user authentication fails, the print job is reset.
C: Printing is possible if user authentication is successful and "Driver Encryption Key" for the printer driver and machine match.
X: Printing is not possible regardless of user authentication, and the print job is reset.
