BEFORE USING THE MACHINE►PERIPHERAL DEVICES EXTERNAL ACCOUNT APPLICATION The external account module enables you to use an "external account application" for centralized account management of an MFP on a network. 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 for counts by 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. The External account module (MX-AMX3) is required to use these functions on the MX-M2630/MX-M3050/MX-M3550/ MX-M4050/MX-M5050/MX-M6050. External account application setup After setting an external application in "Settings (administrator)", restart the machine to enable the setting. To restart the machine, see "TURNING ON THE POWER (page 1-11)". To set up the external account application: In "Settings (administrator)", select [System Settings] → [Sharp OSA Settings] → [External Accounting Application Settings]. Operation in external account mode The following describes operation in the two modes for using an external account application. 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 tapped 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.) Tap the job status display while the login screen is displayed, and the Job Status screen appears. To return to the previous screen, tap a mode select key. To enable the external authentication mode: In "Settings (administrator)", select [System Settings] → [Sharp OSA Settings] → [External Accounting Application Settings] and enable the [External Account Control] setting. • 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. If login fails: If the login screen fails to appear or the application does not operate correctly, the machine may also stop operating correctly. In that case, terminate external account mode forcibly. To forcibly terminate the external account mode: In "Settings (Web version)", select [System Settings] → [Sharp OSA Settings] → [External Accounting Application Settings]. If termination in Setting mode (Web version) fails, terminate it forcibly on the operation panel of the machine. In "Settings", select [System Settings] → [Sharp OSA Settings] and change the setting for [External Accounting Application Settings] and then restart the machine. To restart the machine, see "TURNING ON THE POWER (page 1-11)". 1-186
