Printer Job Authentication Settings

Configure settings for processing printer jobs under each authentication method.

Note

• The setting configured here is for User Code Authentication, Basic Authentication, Windows Authentication, LDAP Authentication, and Integration Server Authentication.

Printer Job Authentication

Select whether to print a job if the printer driver sending the job contains no authentication information (i.e. no user name or password).

Limitation Range (IPv4)

Enter a range for limiting unauthenticated print jobs from IPv4 addresses. You can set up to five ranges.
Any job sent from an IPv4 address within the range entered here is printed, regardless of whether or not it is authenticated. Any unauthenticated job sent from an IPv4 address outside the entered range is not printed.

Note

• This setting is only possible if Printer Job Authentication is set to Simple (Limitation).

Limitation Range (IPv6)

Enter a range for limiting unauthenticated print jobs from IPv6 addresses. Enter the range using a combination of start and end addresses, or a combination of base address and mask. You can set up to five ranges.
Any job sent from an IPv6 address within the range entered here is printed, regardless of whether or not it is authenticated. Any unauthenticated job sent from an IPv6 address outside the entered range is not printed.

Note

• Use one of the following procedures to specify the range:
  • Select Range, and then enter the start and end addresses.
  • Select Mask, enter the base address, and then enter the mask between 1 and 128 in the Mask Length.
• This setting is only possible if Printer Job Authentication is set to Simple (Limitation).

Parallel Interface (Simple)

Select whether or not to apply authentication-based print to jobs sent using the parallel interface.
Apply: unauthenticated jobs are not printed.
Do not Apply: unauthenticated jobs are printed.

Note

• This setting is only possible if Printer Job Authentication is set to Simple (Limitation).

USB (Simple)

Select whether or not to apply authentication-based print to jobs sent using the USB interface.
Apply: unauthenticated jobs are not printed.
Do not Apply: unauthenticated jobs are printed.

Note

Windows Authentication Settings

SSL

Select whether to apply SSL encryption to information entered for user authentication.

Select whether or not to apply Kerberos authentication.
If you select On: in Realm Name, specify the Kerberos Realm for user authentication.
If you select Off: in Domain Name, specify the domain name for user authentication.

Domain Name

Specify the target domain of User Authentication using either an FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) or NetBIOS name.
Use up to 63 alphanumeric characters for an FQDN.
Use up to 15 characters for a NetBIOS name.
For example, to specify the domain name "aaa.bbb.com", enter "aaa.bbb.com" as the FQDN (no omission), or enter "aaa" as the NetBIOS name (up to the first dot).

Note
