When Machine Functions are Restricted
Restricted functions can be used only by authorized users.
Depending on the restricted function, users will be authenticated from the machine's control panel or in
the printer driver.
• To print jobs that require authentication you can use only the PCL printer driver. Printing such jobs
from the PostScript 3 printer driver is not possible.
• The procedure in this section is an example based on Windows 10.
The table below shows the functions that can be restricted, and how users can be authenticated to use
them.
Restricted Function Authentication method
• Printing (both color and
black-and-white)
• Color printing
The user must enter a valid user code in the printer driver before
executing a print command.
