Creating a PIN through Panel PIN Protect
Note: This is available only in select printer models with low level security.
Typically, personal identification numbers (PINs) are used to control access to specific device menus or to a device itself.
PINs can also be used to control access to document outputs, by requiring a user to enter a correct PIN to retrieve a
held print, copy, or fax job. The Embedded Web Server can store a combined total of 250 user‑level and
administrator‑level PINs.
1 From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Security > Panel PIN Protect.
2 Under “Basic Security Setup: Create User PIN,” enter a PIN in the appropriate box, and then reenter the PIN to
confirm it.
3 Under “Basic Security Setup: Create Admin PIN,” enter a PIN in the appropriate box, and then reenter the PIN to
confirm it.
Note: Each PIN must have a unique name containing up to 128 UTF‑8 characters (example: “Copy Lockout PIN”).
4 Click Modify.
Notes:
• When an access control is set to User PIN, then any Admin PIN for your printer is valid for that access control.
• You can assign a user or administrator PIN to any printer function only after you complete this procedure.
Setting up internal accounts
Note: This is available only in select printer models.
Embedded Web Server administrators can configure one internal account building block per supported device. Each
internal account building block can include a maximum of 250 user accounts and 32 user groups.
The internal accounts building block can be used by itself in a security template to provide authentication‑level security,
or in conjunction with one or more groups to provide both authentication and authorization.
