Setting the Department ID Management
You can control access to the machine by using multiple IDs for multiple users or groups. If a user tries to operate the machine when Department ID Management is enabled, a logon screen is displayed, and the user must enter their own Department ID and PIN to use the machine. When Department ID Management is enabled, usage of functions, such as color copying and black and white scanning, is recorded for each Department ID. To configure Department ID Management, register department IDs as necessary and then enable Department ID Management function. Additional settings are required if you want to enable Department ID Management for operations from a computer, such as printing and PC faxing.
Registering/Editing Department ID and PIN
Register a Department ID and set a PIN for it. You can also disable functions, such as black and white copying and color printing, for each Department ID. Up to 300 Department IDs can be registered.
