Before you set up the E-42B, it is strongly recommended that you review all of the system
requirements.
Levels of access and control
When you configure the E-42B during Setup, you implement a particular level of control by
configuring these elements:
• Users and Groups
• Print connections
• Access to WebTools
Users and Groups
With Configure, you create users, assign passwords to users, create groups with specific
privileges, and assign users to the groups. Several groups are provided by default, and you can
create new groups. All users in a group have the same privileges.
In addition to assigning the users that you have created to a group, you can add users from
your organization’s global address list if you enable LDAP services on the E-42B.
The following discussion is an overview designed to help you prepare a security strategy. For
more information, including specific procedures, see Configure Help.
You can view detailed information about users and groups that you have created from
Configure in Command WorkStation. For more information, see Command WorkStation
Help.
User authentication
The term “user authentication” means the E-42B verifies that the user who is sending a job
belongs to a group, and the group has printing privileges (“Print in B&W” or “Print in Color
and B&W”).
By default, the E-42B does not enforce user authentication. That is, even if you assign
passwords to users and assign users to groups, no authentication occurs
unless
you clear the
“Allow users to print without authentication” option (in Configure > Users and Groups). If
this option is selected, anyone can print to the E-42B.

You cannot enable E-42B authentication and copier/printer authentication at the same
time.
