Access Control

Note

• Using SyncThru™ Web Service, administrators can classify users into several groups according to each user’s role. Each user’s authorization, authentication and accounting will be controlled by the group’s role definition. For example, if a group A only has authorization to use the copy function, users in group A can only copy with the machine: they cannot fax or scan. You can set this feature from SyncThru™ Web Service. Click Security > User Access Control > Authority.

When the Single Sign-On (SSO) feature is enabled, users just need to log in to the service only one time. Then the system automatically checks the user’s authority based on the user ID and password. The SSO feature is related to all of the security functions such as authentication, authorization and accounting. The SSO feature can be configured from SyncThru™ Web Service. Log in to the SyncThru™ Web Service as an administrator. (See page 13.9.) And click Security > User Access Control > Authentication> Options.

Job Timer: If there is not enough

 

 

credit, you can set the machine to

 

 

cancel a job right away or wait a

 

 

designated amount of time for a

 

 

deposit.

 

 

Print Job Control: When it is

 

 

enabled, the both computer

 

 

printing and copying are possible

 

 

since the credit remains. With

 

 

Disable, copy printing needs the

 

 

credit. However, when printing a

 

 

report or a fax, the credit is not

 

 

needed.

 

 

Inhibit Services: When no credit is

 

 

left, the machine disables the copy

 

 

job only with Copy Only. With All

 

 

Service, scanning service and

 

 

copy job are disabled.

you cancel the job or when the job

 

 

is cancelled by the device due to

 

 

insufficient credits (coin) or is

 

 

canceled by user’s request. If you

 

 

select Enable, the machine

 

 

deposits a credit equal to the

 

 

number of sheets that did not print

 

 

out correctly, then it prints next job

 

 

for free (for the amount deposited).

 

 

With Disable, even if you cancel

 

 

the printing job, the machine

 

 

includes jammed paper in the

 

 

count and the cost of printing shall

 

 

be recovered for the pages already

 

 

billed.

 

 

Image Counter: Depends on

 

 

whether the machine counts blank

 

 

white pages.
