Set: User Authentication to Enabled.

Under Authentication Method Setting Choose “Authenticate a User by User Number Only”

Then Find the Checkbox for “Disabling Printing of Invalid User” and Check It. Click “Submit”

Step 7

At this point, the copier will require you to login. Login as “Administrator” the default password is “admin” After logging in, go back to the “Authority Group” link under “User Control”

On the “User Registration” Section you will need to fill in a couple of the blanks.

UserName: This will be the name of the user

UserNumber: This will be the Number the User will input for copier access, and print access

Authority Group: What Kind of Access this account will have to Copier functions

You can use this login on the Webpage, or on the front Screen of the Copier to test

Step 12

This is what the front panel of the copier will look like now that the User Codes have been enabled.

Now to Setup your Print Driver with the User Number so you can print to the MFP.

In Control Panel Under “Devices and Printers” Find your Sharp Copier

Step 14

Right Click the machine and Choose “Print Preferences”

Once Open navigate to the Job Handling Tab

Step 15

In the Job Handling Tab Put in your User Number under the “User Number” Tab and Check the Box.

If you choose “Auto Job Control Review” everytime you print it will bring up the box to re-enter your account codes. This is beneficial if you bounce back and forth between Different User Codes.

Keep In Mind since the Machine is now locked down with the account codes. If a user does not input the account code on the print driver the Job will not complete on the Sharp Copier. It will appear that it Sent on the Computer, but as soon as the copier recieves the information it will cancel it because of authentication issues due to the lack of the code.

If printing issues arise please try these steps:

• Check the Job Handling Tab on the Print Driver
• Try to use your code to logon to the copier to make sure it is an active code
• Check the Authority Group of the User to make sure they are allowed to complete the function that they are trying to do.
