[Misc] Canon iradv C5045i user permissions

[dickiebob]

We are installing a Canon ir adv C5045i on to a network and the administrator wants only certain users to be able to print colour and leave the other users to only print black and white.

What is the best method to achieve this?

department ID with limitations set for each user on color and B/W prints and copies should accomplish this.

Department ID Management - Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE 6075/6065/6055 e-Manual

You can register a Department ID and password(up to seven digits) for each department, and manage the machine by limiting its use to only those who enter the correct Department ID and password. This is called Department ID Management. Department IDs and passwords for up to 1,000 departments can be registered. Use Department ID Management to keep track of the copy, scan, and print totals for each department.

With Department ID Management, the following settings can be specified:
Turn Department ID Management 'On' or 'Off'.
Register the Department ID and password.
Set page limits for scans, prints, and copies.
Set whether to use Department ID Management for the Mail Box, Send, Fax, and Remote Scan functions. If the Copy function is specified, it is automatically restricted when Department ID Management is set.
Check the information on copy, scan, and print totals.

IMPORTANT

If you are using SSO-H and set Department ID Management to 'On', you may not be able to log on. In this case, change the login service to Default Authentication, and then set Department ID Management to 'Off'. For instructions on setting a login service, see "MEAP." If the Card Reader is attached, and Default Authentication is set as the login service, Department ID Management is automatically activated. If SSO-H is set as the login service, Department ID Management is performed on the Department ID that shares the same user name and password as the one registered for MEAP User Authentication. The user information registered for the Local Device Authentication system of SSO-H, and the registered Department ID and password set for Department ID Management must match. If the registered Department ID and password have been changed because information was updated or changed by the Device Information Delivery Settings mode, make sure that you change/update the user information registered for the Local Device Authentication system of SSO-H accordingly. For instructions on registering SSO-H user information, see "Registering/Editing User Data for Local Device Authentication." If SSO-H is set as the login service, the Limit Functions mode will not be available.

NOTE

The maximum number of digits that you can store for the Department ID and password is seven.

On a network if you are using I-print when the driver is installed it will be at the setting set by the administrator. Yes you can override in printer properties but this will be for each job. so default will be greyscale if you like.
