Restricting print jobs without authentication information

Select whether to permit printing of a job without authentication information when User Auth/Account Track is enabled.

To print data without adding authentication information using the printer driver, for example, when you want to directly send jobs from the mission-critical system such as ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) to the machine and make prints, permit printing of a job without authentication information.

Select [User Auth/Account Track] - [Print without Authentication] in administrator mode of Web Connection (or in [Utility] - [Administrator] of this machine), and configure the following settings.

Setting

Description

[Print without Authentication]

Select whether to permit printing of a job without authentication information (default: [Restrict]).

  • [Full Color/Black]: Allows both color and black and white printing. Print jobs are counted as public user jobs.

  • [Black Only]: Allows black and white printing only. Color printing jobs are also printed in black and white. Print jobs are counted as public user jobs.

  • [Restrict]: Printing is restricted. Canceling [Restrict] allows everybody to perform printing. Select [Restrict] to control user access and ensure security.

[IP Filtering (Permit Access)]

To restrict printable computers using the IP address when you select [Full Color/Black] or [Black Only] in [Print without Authentication], set this option to ON (default: OFF).

  • [IP Address]: Enter the range of IP address of the printable computers.
    Example to enter [Set1] to [Set5]: "192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.10"
    To allow access from a single IP address, you can only enter the address in one side of the range.

Tips

  • If print jobs without authentication information are allowed, they are counted as public user jobs.
