Configuring LDAP

If your network uses LDAP, then the printer may be required to connect to the LDAP authentication server to retrieve network share or FTP path information for network destinations.

Notes:

• If your printer has been configured to use LDAP authentication for user access, then some or all of the needed settings may have been configured previously.
• Modifying or deleting an existing LDAP profile can affect user access to the printer or to individual printer functions.
