# Restricting Machine Functions According to User

You can set the machine to require a user code when someone tries to use certain machine functions.

- When print jobs are restricted, you can only authenticate through the PCL6 printer driver. Printing from the PostScript 3 printer driver will not be possible.

- User restriction settings can be used in combination with LDAP authentication, except for printing using the PCL6 printer driver and sending LAN-Faxes. Under LDAP authentication, users will only be able to authenticate for PCL6 printing and LAN-Faxes using user names and passwords for the LDAP server, not user codes for the user restriction settings.

Using Web Image Monitor, enable user restriction for all or some of the functions listed below, and then register users who can use those functions.

- Copying

- Sending faxes

- Scan to E-mail/FTP/Folder

- Scan to USB

- Printing

- Sending faxes via LAN-Fax

For each user, you can specify which functions are available upon authentication. A maximum of 30 users can be registered.
