Setting Department ID Management

You can register a Department ID and password for each department, and manage the machine by limiting its use to only those who enter the correct Department ID and password. This is called Department ID Management. Department IDs and passwords for up to 1000 departments can be registered. Use Department ID Management to keep track of the copy, scan, and print totals for each department.
 
Top screen when Department ID Management is enabled
With Department ID Management, the following settings can be specified:
Register the Department ID and password.
Set page limits for scans, prints, and copies.
Accept or reject print and scan jobs from computers with unknown IDs.
After editing settings on Department ID Management, be sure to press (Log In/Out) to return to the screen for entering the Department ID and password.
IMPORTANT
To use the optional Copy Card Reader-F1, Department ID Management must be activated.
Do not change the password when using a control card. The control card will become unusable if the password for the Department ID is changed.
If you enable both Department ID Management and User ID Management, be sure to assign a Department ID (and the password for the Department ID) to each User ID. Users can log in to the machine by entering their User ID that belongs to a Department ID. For instructions on how to register User IDs, see Specifying Department ID and User Management.
NOTE
When the optional Copy Card Reader-F1 is attached to the machine, some screens that appear are different from those shown in the following procedures for Department ID Management.
The default setting is ‘Off’.
