Changing the Password or Authorization Level

This procedure lets you set the authorization level of the person that is working on the printer. It also allows you to change the user-authorization password. Access to higher user-authorization levels is password protected. If you do not know the current password, access to the requested user authorization level is denied.

The different levels of authorization are:

vOperator: No password is required for access to Operator procedures.

vKey Operator: The Key Operator has access to all functions except those that are related to the service and repair of the printer. The following tasks require at least a Key Operator level of authorization:

±Con®gure Printer

±Con®gure Attachments

±Con®gure Pre/Postprocessor

±Traces

±Calibrate Touch Sensitive Screen

±Front Face

vCustomer Engineer: The service representative has access to all functions of the printer. The following tasks require Customer Engineer authorization:

±Service Actions

±Con®gure Control Unit Trace within Traces

Initial Operation

When the printers are shipped from the factory, they are set for the Key Operator user authorization level, which makes all procedures except service-related activities available. The factory-set password is ªall blanksº. That is, if you change the user level to the Operator level and then want to go back to the Key Operator level, simply SELECT the OK pushbutton on the keyboard window when it appears without entering any data.

If you want to maintain a Key Operator authorization level, IBM recommends that you establish a new password for the Key Operator when the installation is complete. If you treat all operators as key operators, then leave the current ªall blanksº password as it is.

If you forget or lose the current Key Operator password, the system accepts a ®xed, alternate password for that level. Obtain this alternate password from your system administrator.
