When Machine Functions are Restricted
When a machine function is restricted, only authorized users are able to use that function.
Depending on the restricted function, users will be authenticated from the machine's control panel or in
the printer/LAN-Fax driver.
• This function is available for the Type 2 model only.
• When print jobs are restricted, you can only authenticate through the PCL printer driver. Printing
from the PostScript 3 printer driver will not be possible.
