Setup Canon Department ID login

DJ

 

Canon Department ID / printer login is supported by Coreza Print

The Canon ImageRunner series can be configured to require a Department ID and PIN, requiring users to log in to the device to print or copy. There's no extra software to install on the copier. All configuration is done from the Coreza Print Cloud Administration platform.

 

This guide describes the different login options and how to enable them in Coreza Print

 

Before you begin

1) Decide which login method you want to use, this is typically one of the following:

  • User logs in with Department ID and PIN (See config A below)
  • User logs in with Department ID and blank (no) PIN (See config B below)

2) Decide whether you want Secure Print as well as department ID and PIN

Secure print will store the job in the Secure Print Queue on the Canon device, the user will need to re-enter their PIN to release the job (See config C below)

 

3) Access to the web interface of the device: Log in to the Canon web administration panel

This will be useful when debugging incorrect user codes as the log under the 'Status' option will show which department ID was sent by Coreza Print and whether it corresponds to a known ID in the device.

 

4) Find or create a valid department ID and (if required) PIN combination that is known to be working on the device

 

Choosing the correct Coreza Print configuration (PPD fragment)

Choose one of the following options and apply it to the printer:

Under advanced settings for the printer select

  • Manufacturer -> Canon

Enter the Department ID and PIN in the Coreza Print App.

Under the config section of the Coreza Print application on Windows, Mac or Chrome locate the Secure print PIN and Accounting Code entry boxes.

 

Enter the credentials according to the mapping below:

 

Coreza Print Accounting Code = Canon Department ID

Coreza Print Secure Print PIN = Canon PIN (password)

Run a test print

With the department code and PIN set run a test print to the Canon device.

  • In the case of any errors check the print log for the error code, you should see the department ID sent by the Application alongside any print failure in the print logmceclip0.png
  • Consult the Canon documentation if you encounter an error code in the Log.
  • Secure prints will be held in the secure print queue of the printer.
