Setting When Using DepartmentID Authentication
When implementing Department ID Management with the DepartmentID Authentication, make sure that the administrator (system administrator) manages the Department IDs and PINs. To enhance security, log in with the system administrator's ID (System Manager ID) and make sure to change the system administrator's ID and PIN.
Which users become administrator or general users depends on whether Department ID Management and System Manager Settings are set, as indicated in the table below.
Department ID Management | System Manager Settings | Administrator | General Users |
On | Set | System Manager | Users authenticated with a Department ID and PIN not for the System Manager |
Not Set | Users authenticated with a Department ID and PIN | None |
Off | Set | System Manager | Users other than the System Manager |
Not Set | All users | None |
Changing the System Manager ID and PIN
1 | Press  (Settings/Registration)  <Log In>. |
2 | Enter <System Manager ID> and <System Manager PIN> and press <Log In>. Immediately after the DepartmentID Authentication has started, both the System Manager ID and PIN are set as "7654321." You cannot register a Department ID or PIN consisting only of 0s, such as "00" or "0000000". Even if you enter fewer than seven digits, zeros are added to the start of the number, and a seven digit number is set. However, the zeros at the start of the number can be omitted when logging in. For example, even if you enter <2>, <02>, or <002>, the PIN is set as <0000002>. However, you can log in by entering <2>, <02>, or <002>. |
3 | Press <Management Settings>  <User Management>  <System Manager Information Settings>. |
4 | Enter the necessary information and press<OK>. Enter the same PIN again for confirmation, and press <OK>. |

For example, even if you enter <2>, <02>, or <002>, the PIN is set as <0000002>. However, you can log in by entering <2>, <02>, or <002>.
