Using the LDAP Authentication and AddressSearch Functions
By configuring the LDAP settings, you will be able to use the LDAP authentication and address search
functions.
LDAP authentication
LDAP authentication enables you to prevent unauthorized access to the machine, by limiting its use
to users who can log in to the machine with correct login user names and passwords.
The table below shows the functions that require users to log in and functions that will be disabled
under LDAP authentication.
Function Details
• Entering the [User Tools] menu Without logging in, users can only check supplies status.
The user must log in to the machine from the control panel.
• Copier function
• Scanner function
• Fax function
No operation is possible without logging in.
The user must log in to the machine from the control panel.
• Printing (using the PCL6 printer
driver)
• Sending faxes via LAN-Fax
• TWAIN scanning
No job will be processed without logging in.
The user must log in to the machine from the printer, LAN-
Fax, or TWAIN driver.

LDAP address search
LDAP address search allows you to retrieve addresses from the server when using the scanner or
fax functions.
• LDAP authentication and user restriction settings can be used in combination, except for printing
using the PCL6 printer driver and sending LAN-Faxes. Under LDAP authentication, users will only
be able to authenticate for PCL6 printing and LAN-Faxes using user names and passwords for the
LDAP server, not user codes for the user restriction settings.
