Specifying Basic Authentication

Before configuring the machine, make sure that administrator authentication is properly configured under "Administrator Authentication Management".

You can specify Basic Authentication using a web browser from networked computers. (We use Web Image Monitor installed on this machine.)

1Open a web browser from a networked computer, and then log in to Web Image Monitor as the machine administrator.

For details on how to log in, see Administrator Login Method.

2Point to [Device Management], and then click [Configuration].

3Click [User Authentication Management] under "Device Settings".

4Select [Basic Authentication] in the "User Authentication Management" drop-down list box.

5Select the "Printer Job Authentication" level.

For details about the printer job authentication levels, see Printer Job Authentication.

If you select [Entire] or [Simple (All)], proceed to Step 7.

If you select [Simple (Limitation)], proceed to Step 6.

6Specify the range in which [Simple (Limitation)] is applied to "Printer Job Authentication".

You can specify the IP address range to which this setting is applied. Also, you can specify whether or not to apply the setting to the parallel and USB interfaces.

7In "Available Functions", select the machine's functions you want to permit.

The functions you select here become the default Basic Authentication settings that will be assigned to all new users of the Address Book.

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

8Click [OK].

9Log out.

For details about logging out, see Administrator Logout Method.
