Printer user privileges

If several users are using the cloud service for 1 printer, each user is categorized as the Administrator or a Standard user.

Note

  • The user who is registered first becomes the Administrator. The administrator can change the privileges of users from the Manage users screen.

An Administrator can change printer information, add and delete apps, manage users, and perform various other operations.
A Standard user can check printer information and start apps.
For information about the functions that each user can use, refer to the "Canon Inkjet Cloud Printing Center window".

If you are using MAXIFY Cloud Link from the printer, select Multiuser mode in the Mng. printer screen to set the printer to Multiuser mode. Each user can then start an app and print documents.

Note

  • If you have not set your own Security code, select Multiuser mode to display the Security code setup screen.
    If you select Cancel, you will not be able to set Multiuser mode.
  • If you are the Administrator, a confirmation screen appears asking whether you want to send an e-mail prompting standard users without a Security code to set up their Security code.

    • To send a notification e-mail is sent only to users without a Security code and to set Multiuser mode, select OK.
    • To set Multiuser mode without sending a notification e-mail, select Cancel.
