–Authentication Enabled
If you want to track copy, print and scan usage by both User ID, Account ID and amount of resources each user account uses (for example, types and sizes of paper stock, duplex or simplex, stapled or not stapled) ensure that Authentication is Enabled. Users will then be required to enter a valid User ID and an Account ID for any job. The User ID and Account ID are alphanumeric strings between 1 and 32 characters in length.
–Authentication Disabled
Disabling Authentication allows the device to accept both valid and invalid User and Account ID's.
