Scenario: Printer in a public place

If your printer is located in a public space such as a lobby, and you want to prevent the general public from using it,
then a password or PIN can provide simple protection right at the device. Administrators can assign a single password
or PIN for all authorized users of the device, or separate codes to protect individual functions. The key to remember is
that anyone who knows a password or PIN can access any functions protected by that code.
Step 1: Create a password or PIN
1
From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Security > Security Setup.
2
Under Advanced Security Setup, click either PIN or Password, and then configure it.
For some printer models, you can set your PIN and password through Panel PIN Protect and Web page Password
Protect. For more information, see
through Web Page Password Protect" on page
3
Click Submit to save the changes.
For more information on configuring a PIN or password, see the relevant section or sections under
blocks" on page 8.

a descriptive name, such as "Administrator_Only" or "Common_Functions_Template."
5
From the Authentication Setup menu list, select the PIN or password created in Step 1.
6
Click Save Template.
Step 3: Assign security templates to access controls
Note: This is available only in select printer models.

From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Security > Security Setup.
2
Under Advanced Security Setup, click Access Controls.

If necessary, click Expand All or click a specific folder to view a list of available functions.

created in Step 2.
