Security Reset Jumper

The C792 and X792 printers have a Security Reset Jumper on the System Board which can be used in
the event the Administrator password is forgotten (see pictures below). The Security Jumper effect can
be configured through the Security Menu on printer's web page or menus. The choices for the Security
Reset Jumper effect are listed below:
•
No Security (default setting) – Resets the value of each Access Control to "No Security".
This option preserves all custom security templates and building blocks, however, they will no
longer be applied to a function. This option allows the Administrator to create a new
password with no loss to some customizations.
•
Reset to Defaults – Erases all Security Templates, Building Blocks, Access Controls and
passwords that a user has defined and returns the printer security to its original state. This
option is not recommended unless a complete reset of the Security Menu is desired.
•
No Effect – The position of the security jumper is ignored. No settings will be erased or
changed in any way. This option is NOT recommended because passwords cannot be
recovered easily; it would require System Board replacement at the cost of the customer (this
is not a manufacturing or warranty problem).
In general, when a jumper is installed over two or more jumper
pins, this causes an electrical connection to be made. A predefined
set of instructions is programmed on the circuit board which
executes depending on the jumper configuration detected.
Note: Administrators can discourage tampering with the Security Jumper by securing the entire RIP card
cage with a Kensington lock
