USER AUTHENTICATION
User authentication restricts the use of the machine
to users that have been registered. The functions that each user
is allowed to use can be specified, allowing the machine to be customized
to meet the needs of your workplace.
When the administrator of the machine has enabled user authentication,
each user must log in to use the machine. There are different types
of user authentication, and each type has a different login method.
For more information, see the explanations of the login methods.
