How to Enable User Authentication Method on a Photocopier Bizhub 367

In this blog, we will learn how to enable user authentication on a Konica Minolta Bizhub 367 Photocopy machine.

User Authentication and Account Track

Using User Authentication allows you to manage users who can use this machine. It also provides security and cost-conscious advanced operations of this machine. By using User Authentication, you can use the following functions for users of this machine.

When to use User Authentication

User Authentication is the only feature that permits the use of a biometric scanner or card reader to authenticate. It can also be used on color devices when customers simply want to control color copying and printing while allowing black-and-white copying and printing without tracking the number of prints and only requiring authentication to copy or print in color Public User mode.

When to use Account Tracking

Account tracking can be used when everyone must enter a code to use the device to track copying and printing. Codes can be assigned to each individual by department, client files, etc. When a code must be entered to track all copying and printing, Account Tracking is the most effective option because it can require only a password to authenticate at the device for copying or at the printer driver for printing. This saves users time. Passwords should, therefore, be kept numeric to make authenticating as quick and easy as possible, though alphanumeric passwords are also possible.

Enable User Authentication via Machine Web Connection
