Security on the device is managed through authentication at the MFP idle screen. In order to gain access to the device, users must key in their user name and passcode before they are presented with the functions available to them. Authenticating in this way also allows the software to track the user’s selections on the MFP during the session, regardless of whether the functions chosen are being tracked by the Equitrac solution. Tracking for the various functions of the MFP is achieved through entering a billing code for the desired function.
