Administrators and Users

This section explains the terms "administrator", "supervisor", "user", and "owner" as used in this manual.

Administrator

There are 4 types of administrators for the machine: user administrator, machine administrator, network administrator, and file administrator.

Their main role is to specify the settings for operating the machine. Their access privileges depend on the administrator type. Administrators cannot perform normal operations, such as printing documents.

Supervisor

There is only one supervisor. The supervisor can specify each administrator's password. For normal operations, a supervisor is not required as administrators specify their own passwords.

User

Users are people using the machine for normal operations, such as printing documents.

Owner

A user who has stored files in the machine when the optional hard disk is installed is called an owner.
