BEFORE USING THE MACHINE►PERIPHERAL DEVICES

An "external account application" can be used in "external authentication mode" or "external count mode".
When "external authentication mode" is used, the login screen is retrieved from the application when the machine is 
started. When a job ends, a job notification screen is sent to the application for counts by authenticated user. When 
"external count mode" is used, the login screen is not displayed when the machine is started. Only a job result 
notification is sent to the application. User authentication by the external account application cannot be used. However, 
the external account application can be used in combination with the internal account function.

After setting an external application in "Setting mode (administrator)", restart the machine to enable the setting.
To restart the machine, see "

The following describes operation in the two modes for using an external account application.

When the machine is powered on in external authentication mode, the machine accesses the external account 
application and displays the login screen. The login screen also appears when the [Call] key is tapped to run a job in the 
job status complete screen. (The login screen does not appear if the user has already logged in by the normal method.)
Tap the job status display while the login screen is displayed, and the Job Status screen appears. To return to the 
previous screen, tap a mode select key.

If login fails:
If the login screen fails to appear or the application does not operate correctly, the machine may also stop operating 
correctly. In that case, terminate external account mode forcibly.

Unlike in external authentication mode, when the machine is started in "external count mode", the login screen of the 
external account application is not displayed after the machine has started up. Only the job result is sent to the external 
account application.
External count mode can be used together with the user control function of the machine. (External count mode can also 
be used when the user control function is disabled.)

To set up the external account application:
In "Setting mode (administrator)", select [System Settings] → [Sharp OSA Settings] → [External Accounting Application 
Settings].

To enable the external authentication mode:
In "Setting mode (administrator)", select [System Settings] → [Sharp OSA Settings] → [External Accounting Application 
Settings] and enable the [External Account Control] setting.

• The user control function of the machine cannot be used in external authentication mode.

However, "User Registration", "User Count Display", "User Count Reset", "User Information Print", and "The Number of 
User Name Displayed Setting" can be used.

• The mode select key cannot be used while the login screen appears.

To forcibly terminate the external account mode:
In "Setting mode  (Web version)", select [System Settings] → [Sharp OSA Settings] → [External Accounting Application Settings].
If termination in Setting mode (Web version) fails, terminate it forcibly on the operation panel of the machine.
In "Setting mode", select [System Settings] → [Sharp OSA Settings] and change the setting for [External Accounting 
Application Settings] and then restart the machine. To restart the machine, see "

".

To enable the external count mode:
In "Setting mode (administrator)", select [System Settings] → [Sharp OSA Settings] → [External Accounting Application 
Settings] and enable the [External Account Control] setting alone.
