Notes on the Administrator Password

This device allows you to set an administrator password to prevent unauthorized third parties from accessing or
changing the device settings or the network settings stored in the device when it is connected to a network.
If you set an administrator password, you need to enter the password when changing settings in configuration
software such as Web Config.
The initial administrator password is set on the scanner, but you can change it to any password.

Initial Administrator Password

The initial administrator password varies depending on the label attached to the product. If there is a
"PASSWORD" label attached to the back, enter the 8-digit number shown on the label. If there is no "PASSWORD"
label attached, enter the serial number on the label attached to the base of the product for the initial administrator
password.
We recommend changing the initial administrator password from the default setting.
Note:
No user name is set as default.

Operations that Require the Administrator Password

password set on the product.

Changing the Administrator Password

You can change the administrator password in Web Config.
When changing the password, the new password must be 8 to 20 characters long and only contain single-byte
