Restricting print jobs without authentication information

Select whether to permit printing of a job without authentication information when User Authentication/Account Track is enabled on the machine.

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.

In the administrator mode, select [User Auth/Account Track] - [Print without Authentication], then configure the following settings.

Settings

Description

[Print without Authentication]

Select whether to allow a print job without authentication information.

  • [Full Color/Black]: Allows both color and black and white printing.

  • [Black Only]: Allows black and white printing only. Color printing jobs are also printed in black and white.

  • [Restrict]: Restricts a print job without authentication information.

[Restrict] is specified by default.

[IP Filtering (Permit Access)]

When you select [Full Color/Black] or [Black Only] in [Print without Authentication], select [Enable] to restrict computers so that printing is to be permitted using the IP address. Also enter the range of IP addresses.

To allow access from a single IP address, you can only enter the address in one side of the range.

  • Example of entry: "192.168.1.1"

[Disable] is specified by default.

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