Securing access to the application

Note: Before securing access to the application, make sure that an authentication module application and the eSF Security Manager application are running on the printer. For more information on eSF Security Manager, see the eSF Security Manager Administrator’s Guide.

This application overrides the standard e-mail function on the printer. For the security features of the application to work correctly, use an authentication module to secure access to the e-mail function. Users are required to log in to the printer when trying to use the e-mail function.

After the authentication module has been associated with the e-mail function, specify where to retrieve an authenticated user e-mail address when sending an e-mail. The user e-mail address appears in the From field of the sent e-mail.
