BEFORE USING THE MACHINE 2 Select External Application App 01 App 02 App 03 App 04 App 05 App 06 App 07 App 08 Select the standard application. If two or more standard applications have been stored in the Web pages, the screen to select the standard application will appear. Touch the standard application that you wish to use. If only one standard application has been stored in the Web pages, connection to the standard application will begin. The machine connects to the standard application. 3 The message "Connecting to the external application." appears while the machine communicates with the standard application. The mode select key cannot be used during scanning. EXTERNAL ACCOUNT MODULE (MX-AMX3) The external account module is required to use a "external account application" on the machine. An external account application can be used in "external authentication mode" or "external count mode". When external authentication mode is used, the login screen is retrieved from the application when the machine is started. When a job ends, a job notification screen is sent to the application to enable counts to be kept for each authenticated user. When "external count mode" is used, the login screen is not displayed when the machine is started. Only a job result notification is sent to the application. User authentication by the external account application cannot be used, however, the external account application can be used in combination with the internal account function. External account application setup To enable an external account application in the Web pages of the machine, click [Application Settings] in the administrator menu frame, and then [External Applications Settings] and [External Accounting]. Configure settings for the external account application in the screen that appears. The setting change will take effect after the machine is restarted. To restart the machine, see "TURNING THE POWER ON AND OFF" (page 1-15). Operation in external account mode The two modes for using an external account application operate as explained below. External authentication mode When the [Enable Authentication by External Server] checkbox is selected in "External Account Setting" of "Sharp OSA Settings" in the system settings (administrator), the machine enters external authentication mode. When the machine is powered on in external authentication mode, the machine accesses the external account application and displays the login screen. The login screen also appears when the [Call] key is touched to run a job in the job status complete screen. (The login screen does not appear if the user has already logged in by the normal method.) The [JOB STATUS] key can be pressed while the login screen appears to show the job status screen. To return to the previous state, press the mode select key. • The user control function of the machine cannot be used in external authentication mode. However, "User Registration", "User Count Display", "User Count Reset", "User Information Print", and "The Number of User Name Displayed Setting" can be used. • The mode select key cannot be used while the login screen appears. 1-53 Contents
