Typically we create a group for users with access to only Black and White printing, and a group for users who will have access to both Color and Black and White.

You can create several different authority groups depending on how much control you need over the users. Click “Authority Group List” on the left, then click “Add.” These groups designate what authority the users will have.Open a web browser and enter the IP address in the address bar, then click “User Control” on the left. The password by default is “admin” without the quotes.The IP address can be obtained by printing a NIC page from the MFP touch-screen. Once the Sharp MFP is on the network you can access the web page by typing the IP address of the machine into a web browser.Once User Control is activated computers that currently print to the Sharp MFP will require a User Code in the print driver to resume printing activity. This procedure will show you how to activate user control, create authority groups, create users, view / manage the number of pages used by each user, and reset the counts for auditing purposes. The end result of this procedure will require a code / user name and password to Copy, Print, Scan, or Fax. These are instructions for how to setup Sharp user control / account control in a Sharp copier. *To view and Reset the Counts back to 0, see the instructions in blue at the bottom of the page.
