Before beginning to configure the printer, make sure that administrator authentication is properly configured under "Administrator Authentication Management".

Display the screen for configuring Windows authentication.

Display the screen for configuring Authentication Information.

[User Authentication Management] [Authentication Info] next to [Windows Authentication]

Select the authentication method.

Kerberos authentication

[Kerberos Authentication] [On] [Realm Name] Select Kerberos authentication realm [OK] [OK]

To enable Kerberos authentication, a realm must be registered beforehand.

The realm name must be registered using capital letters. For details, see “Configuring the Realm,” Operating Instructions.

Up to 5 realms can be registered.

If you select [Simple (Limitation)], specify the range in which [Simple (Limitation)] is applied to "Printer Job Authentication". You can specify the IPv4 address range to which this setting is applied, and whether or not to apply the setting to the parallel and USB interfaces.

[Simple (Limitation)] [Change Limitation Range] Specify the range in which [Simple (Limitation)] is applied to "Printer Job Authentication" [OK] [Exit] [OK]

If you have registered a global group, configure the global groups setting.

[Program/Change Group] [* Not Programmed] [Group Name] Enter the group name [OK]

If global groups have been registered under Windows server, you can limit the use of functions for each global group.

You need to create global groups in the Windows server in advance and register in each group the users to be authenticated. You also need to register in the printer the functions available to the global group members. Create global groups in the printer by entering the names of the global groups registered in the Windows Server. (Keep in mind that group names are case sensitive.) Then specify the printer functions available to each group.

If global groups are not specified, users can use the available functions specified in *Default Group. If global groups are specified, users not registered in global groups can use the available functions specified in [*Default Group]. By default, all functions are available to *Default Group members. Specify the limitation on available functions according to user needs.

Select the functions you want to permit.

[Available Printer Functions] Select the functions you want to permit [OK] [OK] [Exit]

Windows Authentication will be applied to the selected functions.

Users can use the selected functions only.

For details about specifying available functions for individuals or groups, see Limiting Available Functions.
