Authenticating Users Before Sending Documents
(Authorized Send)
If your network uses directory services such as Active Directory, we recommend
that you use also Authorized Send. Authorized Send is an authentication feature
that enables you to prevent unauthorized users from sending documents from the
machine. With this feature activated, any user who wants to send documents needs
to enter a valid user name and password.
