If you require users to specify their user name and password (that is, you clear the “Allow
users to print without authentication” option), users must type this information in the printer
driver when they print. Users must specify their user name and password if they create files
from the printer driver for printing later (such as an email attachment that is sent to the
E-42B).
Because jobs that are sent through FTP do not require a printer driver, you can specify that
FTP jobs are authenticated (see Configure > Network > Services > FTP > Require Password
for Printing).
Passwords
When you create a new user in Configure > Users and Groups, you assign a password to the
user. In other areas of the system, you can also set passwords for these areas:
• Default admin user in Administrators group
• Default operator user in Operators group
• Windows system password

:
The Administrator and Operator passwords are separate from the Windows system
password.
By default, the Administrator password is set on the E-42B. Change the Administrator
password periodically to protect the E-42B from accidental or malicious changes to Setup. For
more information, see
Users in the Administrators and Operators groups have privileges in addition to the explicit
ones that you set when you create groups. Examples of these privileges are provided in the
following sections.
Administrator privileges
Users in the Administrators group have the highest level of control. Administrator privileges
include:
• Configuring the E-42B from Configure or the copier control panel
• Adding and deleting groups
• Adding and deleting users
• Setting and changing passwords for users
• Deleting, printing, exporting, and viewing the Job Log
• Deleting, viewing, and modifying users’ print jobs
• Clearing the E-42B of all job data
• Printing black-and-white or color jobs
• Publishing print connections
