# PRINTING WHEN THE USER AUTHENTICATION FUNCTION IS ENABLED

## Overview

The user information (such as login name and password) that must be entered varies depending on the authentication method being used. Therefore, check with the administrator of the machine before printing.
The button that is used to open the printer driver properties window (usually [Property] or [Print Preferences]) may vary depending on the application.

- If you have configured "Printing Policy" in the [Configuration] tab so that user authentication is always performed, users are required to be authenticated for each printing.
- The machine's user authentication function cannot be used when the PPD driver is installed and the Windows standard PS printer driver is used. Therefore, printing will fail if printing by an invalid user is disabled in the Setting mode (administrator).

###### To disable printing by an invalid user:

In "Setting mode (administrator)", select [User Control] → [Default Settings] → [Disabling of Printing by Invalid User].
