Difficulty: MediumMultifunction Devices and Printer Configuration

A system administrator is deploying a high-volume multifunction device (MFD) for a corporate department. Security policy mandates that users must scan documents directly to their network home drives over the local network using their domain credentials, and all print jobs must be tracked for auditing purposes by individual user account. Which TWO of the following configurations should the administrator implement to meet these requirements?

  1. Configure Scan to SMB using Active Directory authenticationAnswer
  2. Enable print accounting and user authentication on the MFD and print queueAnswer
  3. C
    Configure POP3 service settings on the printer to deposit scanned files onto network shares
  4. D
    Assign a static APIPA address to the MFD to ensure permanent connectivity to domain servers
  5. E
    Connect the MFD to an unmanaged Layer 2 switch to route scan traffic between different subnets

Answer

The correct configurations are configuring Scan to SMB using Active Directory authentication and enabling print accounting and user authentication on the MFD and print queue.
Configuring Scan to SMB allows users to deliver scanned files straight to network shares using their corporate directory accounts. Activating user authentication and print accounting ensures every print job is associated with a specific user account for tracking and audit logs.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the requirement for direct-to-folder network scanning using domain credentials.
Scan to SMB integrated with Active Directory allows authenticated users to transmit scans directly into their respective network file paths.
SMB is the standard protocol for accessing network shares and home drives in a Windows corporate environment.
2
Identify the requirement for tracking and auditing print usage per user.
Enabling user authentication (via PIN, badge, or domain credentials) along with print accounting on the device and server records usage per account.
Accounting logs provide administrative metrics and security auditing for all print, copy, and scan activities.
