Login Methods

This section describes the login methods. Users can log in using the control panel of the machine or from the Remote UI.

Logging In to the Machine Using the Control Panel

Logging In from the Remote UI Portal

IMPORTANT
The default user name for the Administrator of Local Device Authentication is 'Administrator' and the default password is '7654321' (case sensitive). When using Local Device Authentication, make sure to edit the user information of the Administrator immediately after starting to use it, in order to increase security. (See "Managing User Information.") If you are logging in as the Administrator for Local Device Authentication and the default user name and password are still being used, a screen prompting you to change the password may be displayed when you click [Log In], depending on the settings. It is recommended that you change the password to increase security. If you are logging in as the Administrator for Local Device Authentication from the Remote UI and the default user name and password are still being used, you may not be able to log in, depending on the settings. In this case, log in from the touch panel display, and change the user name and password.

To use Server Authentication + Local Device Authentication, a Windows server in which Active Directory is installed or an LDAP server is required. (See "How User Authentication Works.") To log in with Active Directory authentication, it is necessary to synchronize the time of the computer in which Active Directory is running and the time of the machine. If there is a difference of more than 30 minutes in the time of the computer and the time of the machine, an error occurs when you log in. For information on setting the date and time of the machine, see "Current Date and Time."
