Device Locking and Authentication
5
Control who uses your devices — how they
use them, and when.
No more unmonitored usage
With uniFLOW, you can eliminate uncontrolled or unmonitored printing,
copying, faxing, or scanning. Based on your criteria, users can be directed
to authenticate and identify themselves in order to unlock and use any
device. This feature also enables you to control access as you see fit. For
example, you can allow or deny any user or group of users the ability to use
particular functionalities. Some organizations, for example, might opt to only
allow color printing to those departments that need it, or ensure that only
certain devices are used by contractors or guests.

Multiple and flexible access systems
Creating a system to authenticate your users is easy and customizable. You
can prompt them to scan their existing employee ID badge, swipe a magnetic
or smart card, or type in a unique employee ID number, user name, PIN, or
password. You can also utilize a combination or conditional use of these
security methods before access is granted. For example, you may require a
badge swipe along with a user name and password to be input for first-time
usage, and then simply require a badge swipe for subsequent uses.

For users of Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices, once the user
is authenticated and identified, many menus and UI aspects revert to
predetermined preferences and customizations that the user may have
set. Authentication at the device also instantly facilitates personalized
capabilities such as enabling the user to "Send To Myself" (via e-mail),
"Scan to My Folder," access personal address books, and benefit from
other secure, individualized features.
