BEFORE USING THE MACHINE►BEFORE USING THE MACHINE
ACTIVE DIRECTORY LINKING FUNCTION
You can join the Active Directory domain (AD domain) of the machine, and easily perform user management on the
network.
On a network that does not have Active Directory enabled, you must perform network device authentication for each
device.
For this reason, one user must have multiple domain names and passwords.
When you join an AD domain, you only need to be authenticated once. After you are authenticated, the Active Directory
server automatically authenticates network devices. You can log in to multiple devices on the network with a single
domain name and password.
Joining an AD domain
To have the machine join an AD domain, set the authentication destination to [Active Directory] in "Settings
(administrator)" - [System Settings] → [Authentication Settings] → [Default Settings] → [Authentication Server Settings].
Registering the machine in an AD domain
When you join an AD domain, the machine is registered as a printer in the AD domain. Enter the machine information in
setting mode.
Device name of the machine
In "Settings (administrator)", select [System Settings] → [Network Settings] → [Network Name Setting] → [Device Name].
Domain name of the machine
In "Settings (administrator)", select [System Settings] → [Network Settings] → [Active Directory Settings] → [Domain
Name].
Machine user name and password
In "Settings (administrator)", select [System Settings] → [Network Settings] → [Active Directory Settings] → [Device
Registration Account].
DNS domain name
In "Settings (administrator)", select [System Settings] → [Network Settings] → [Interface Settings] → [DNS Settings] →
[Domain Name].
When the authentication destination is set to Active Directory, the Kerberos setting cannot be used.
