Restricting the Available Functions for Each Individual User
• When User Authentication is enabled, it is possible to then allow or prohibit the use of specific
Copier functions for each individual user. For example, with color products, it is possible to allow or
prohibit the use of B/W, full-color, two-color and single-color modes for each user. Therefore, if a
user were assigned restrictions that limited him or her to B/W copies, even after having
successfully logged in, they would not be able to make color copies.
• In addition, it is possible to prohibit Full Color printing and instead enable Auto Color Detection,
which ensures that the MFP only uses black toner to print out black and white originals. As this
minimizes the amount of color toner consumed, this has the added benefit of reducing costs.
• It is also possible to increase the level of security by using the above features in tandem with an
external charge device or key counter. This is because operators would not only be prompted to
enter a user name and password, but would also be required to clear the usage restrictions
imposed by the external charge device or key counter itself (card, currency, etc.).
Job/Access Log Data Collection
• An entry is added to the job log for each individual job, containing information on the job settings
(e.g. simplex or duplex, paper size), completion status (whether completed successfully or not) and
user identification (in cases where User Authentication was enabled).
• Whenever the optional Copy Data Security Unit detects one of the embedded patterns selected
with the Copy Data Security feature (section 3.3), an entry is added to the access log.
• The log data is saved to the HDD via the LCS. It is possible to set the MFP to send the job log data
stored in the HDD to Web SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin whenever a job has been performed.
• The job log data can be permanently erased from HDD memory from inside SP (Service Program)
Mode.
