Authenticating Login Users
There are two methods to authenticate login users: using the control panel of the machine
and touching the smart card to the IC Card Reader.
To authenticate the login users using the operator panel, the user must enter the user ID. In
addition, the passcode entry is also required when [Passcode Entry for Control Panel Login]
is set to [On] under [Authentication/Security Settings] > [Authentication] > [Passcode
Policy].
For more information on the passcode policy, refer to "Passcode Policy" (P.456).
For more information on user registration from the touch screen, refer to "Create/View User
Accounts" (P.453).
Note • An optional component is required to use this feature. For more information, contact Customer
Support at dell.com/contactdell.
