There are two ways to secure access to the printer:

•

Enable a secure idle screen that restricts access to the entire home screen. When users insert a Smart Card or touch
the screen, they will be prompted to authenticate before they can access the home screen.

Note: The Background and Idle Screen application must be installed and running on the printer to enable this
functionality.

•

Restrict access to individual applications and functions. Users will be able to access the home screen, but when they
touch a secured home screen icon or attempt to use a secured function, they will be prompted to authenticate
before they can access that application or function. You can secure access to:

–

Installed applications, such as Scan to Network

–

Individual functions of installed applications, such as the Change Background function of the Background and
Idle Screen application

–

Built

‑in printer functions, such as copy and fax

Users will still be able to access unsecured applications and functions without having to authenticate.

Setting up a security template

Before you can secure access to applications and functions, you need to create a security template that uses Smart
Card Authentication Client to obtain user credentials. You can then assign this security template to each application
and function you want to protect.
