Page 28 highlights

Creating user accounts through the EWS Creating internal (device) accounts for use with the evaluated configuration involves not only assigning a user ID and password to each user, but also segmenting users into groups. You will select one or more of these groups when configuring security templates, and then apply a security template to each device function, to control access to that function. The MFP supports a maximum of 250 user accounts and 32 user groups. Example: Employees in the warehouse will be given access to black and white printing only; administrative office staff will be able to print in black and white, and send faxes; and employees in the marketing department will have access to black and white printing, color printing, and faxing.
