Required Settings

To use the various functions described in this manual, depending on the function, you may need to specify certain settings in advance using one of the following three methods:

  • Settings/Registration

This method enables you to specify the settings required to perform network-related operations such as using Internet fax (I-fax) and e-mail, configuring fax forwarding settings, and accessing the Advanced Boxs of other imageRUNNER ADVANCE machines. You can also set security-related functions by browsing through the directory levels which are grouped by purpose.

The system manager or the SSO-H (Single Sign-On H) Administrator can specify all of the system settings for the machine. For information on the types of administrators, see "Administrator Settings" in "Security."

The items available in Settings/Registration vary for the administrator and general user.


System Manager Information (System Manager Department ID/System PIN) is set by default in the machine. Thus, the Administrator must log in by entering the System Manager ID and the System PIN on the Settings/Registration screen. The default settings for the system manager department ID and system manager PIN are both "7654321." These should be changed to more suitable values.
