Printer Job Authentication
Printer job authentication is a function to apply user authentication to print jobs.
User code authentication can be used for printer job authentication.
A job can be printed if the user code entered in the printer properties dialog box matches a user code
registered in the machine's Address Book and the job is authenticated. However, even if the user code
matches, the job will be canceled if the user is not authorized to use printer functions. For details about
specifying available functions for each user, see page 50 "Limiting Available Functions".

• Of various types of user authentication, only user code authentication supports authentication of
print jobs. Under basic authentication, Windows authentication, LDAP authentication, and
Integration Server authentication, all jobs can be printed regardless of the user authentication
settings.
• If you have enabled user code authentication on the machine, be sure to enter the user code in the
printer properties dialog box.
• If you try to print without entering the user code, the print job will be unauthorized and it will be
canceled.
• For details about entering the user code in the printer properties dialog box, see the printer driver
Help.
