Printing Lockout

Printing Lockout allows locking or unlocking of a printer using an assigned PIN. When locked, every job the printer receives will buffer to the hard disk. A user can print jobs only by entering the correct PIN on the operator panel. A PIN can be assigned through the Web page of the device.

Note: This setting is only available when a hard disk is installed.

Note: Back channel data will be processed while the printer is locked. Reports such as user or event logs can be retrieved from a locked printer.

2Click Configuration.

3Under Other Settings, click Security.
