Secure function lock

(MFC-7840W only) 4
Secure Function Lock lets you restrict Public
access to certain machine functions (Fax Tx,
Fax Rx, Copy, Scan and Print1).
This feature also prevents users from
changing the Default settings of the machine
by limiting access to the Menu settings.
Disabling at least one function is required to
turn on Secure Function Lock for the Public
user.
Before using the security features you must
first enter an administrator password.
Access to restricted operations can be
enabled by creating a restricted user.
Restricted users must enter a user password
to use the machine.
Make a careful note of your password. If you
forget it, please call Brother Customer
Service.
1Print includes PC-Fax Send as well as all print jobs.
Note
• You can set up to 10 individual users and
one Public user.
• W hen you set up a Public user, you can
restrict one or more of the machine’s
functions to all users who do not have a
password.
• Only administrators can set limitations
and make changes for each user.
• When Print is disabled, PC print jobs will
be lost without notification.
