Using Sharp OSA3.5 and OSA4 MFPs

A user session begins when the user provides valid credentials at the MFP. Once logged in, users can manage their documents in the secure print queue through the Follow-You Printing application, or access any of the other MFP features, such as copying, scanning, sending or receiving faxes.

To start a user session on a OSA3.5/4 MFP, do the following:
  1. On the Login screen, the user swipes their card to directly access the Main Landing screen, or they enter their user credentials using the soft or hard keyboard at the MFP, and then touch Login. If Web System Manager is configured to prompt for Secondary PIN, the user may need to enter a Password.
    Users without login credentials can touch Bypass to access all of the MFP functions except Follow-You Printing. Any transactions made by this “Bypass” user will appear in the database against an “Unidentified” account.
    If the Bypass feature is not enabled in Web System Manager, then the Bypass button does not appear on the device Login screen. See Configuring a Specific Device.
    The MFP can be configured to open a soft keyboard when the User ID/Password field is touched, or to use the pull-out hard keyboard below the touch screen. See the MFP documentation to set up the keyboard options.
  2. On the Main Landing screen, the user can select one of the following functions:
    • Follow-You Printing to select and print documents from the secure print queue. See Using Follow-You Printing on OSA3.5 and OSA4 MFPs.
    • Release all their queued documents automatically without using Follow-You Printing. The user is prompted for a billing code if the setup demands it.
    • Copier to access the native MFP functions. If Web System Manager is configured to Prompt for billing code after user identification (at copiers) the user must enter a billing code before accessing the copy, scan and fax functions.
