Locking the Control Panel Buttons

You can restrict the use of buttons on the control panel using
Lock-out mode. In the default Lock-out mode, you can use only
the Pause, Load/Eject and Tear off buttons. If you want to
change which functions are locked, see "Changing the Lock-out
mode settings" below.

Turning Lock-out mode on and off

1. Make sure the printer is turned off.
2. Turn on the printer while holding down the Load/Eject and
Pause buttons. The printer beeps twice, indicating that the
Lock-out mode has been turned on.
When the Lock-out mode is on, the Pause and Paper Out lights
flash simultaneously three times when any locked button is
pushed.
To turn Lock-out mode off, repeat steps 1 and 2. The printer
beeps once, indicating that Lock-out mode has been turned off.
