Restrictions When User Code Authentication is Enabled

When User Code authentication is enabled, the following restrictions apply to print volume limit settings:

  • If [PC Control] is selected for the printer function, the values specified for print volume use units might not be applied to users' print counters. Do not select [PC Control] if you want to specify print volume limits when User Code authentication is enabled.

  • Under Basic, Windows, and LDAP authentication, figures displayed at the top right of the control panel indicate the total volumes the administrator specifies for the user to print. Under User Code authentication, users by themselves cannot check the total print volume by using either the control panel or Web Image Monitor. In this case, users need to ask administrators about the total print volume.

  • No log data about print use limits is recorded in the Job Log or Access Log.

  • Depending on the settings configured for User Code authentication, users might be able to print before logging in, regardless of the print volume limits set by the administrator. Restrict all functions via "Functions to Restrict" in [User Code Auth.] in [User Authentication Management].
