Printing Method When Using User Authentication Settings
When [User Authentication] is set on the main body, a user name and password must be entered when printing.
This function is available with the PS Plug-in driver for Windows or Mac OS.
To use this function, the administrator needs to enable [User Authentication] on the machine side. For details about [User Authentication], refer to Authentication Method: Setting the Authentication Conditions or User Auth./Account Track tab.
