You can control user authentication on the imagePRESS Server from Configure in Security > Printing Privileges.
•
By default, Allow printing from is set to All users, meaning authentication is not required and anyone can send
jobs to the imagePRESS Server. Even if you assign passwords to users and assign users to groups, authentication
is not required.
•
If you set Allow printing from to Authorized users, users must enter their user name and password in the printer
driver when they print. Users must specify their user name and password if they create files from the printer
driver for printing later (such as an email attachment that is sent to the imagePRESS Server).
Note: You cannot enable imagePRESS Server authentication and printer authentication at the same time.
Because jobs that are sent through FTP do not require a printer driver, you can specify that FTP jobs are
authenticated. In Configure, see Job Submission > FTP Printing > Require Password for Printing.
Fiery passwords
Use Configure to manage passwords.
You can set passwords for users in Configure > User Accounts. You can set passwords for the Administrator (default
user in the Administrators group) and Operator (default user in the Operators group) in Configure > Security.
Important: We strongly recommend that you change passwords periodically to protect the imagePRESS Server
from unauthorized changes. Choose a password that is longer than 15 characters and includes some symbols,
rather than only alphanumeric characters.
