signing your printed pages, however, it is also a more sophisticated
method and requires some experience with programming languag-

All programming via the interface is lost after you turn off the printer,
whereas the programming carried out using the control panel, is
saved and stored even after you turn off the printer.
The menu can be locked by default to protect it from accidental or
