Limiting access with Basic Security Setup

Use Basic Security Setup to limit access to the Embedded Web Server security settings and the configuration menus

on the printer control panel. This selection allows the definition of simple internal device security authentication

methods.

Notes:

• This feature is available only in select printer models.

• The default settings do not contain any authentication or authorization building blocks, which means that

everyone has unrestricted access to the Embedded Web Server.

Applying Basic Security Setup

From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Security > Security Setup.

2 From the Authentication Type drop‑down list, select one of the following:

• PIN—Enter a PIN number. Each PIN must be 4–16 digits in length.

• Password—Type a name for the password. Each password must have a unique name containing up to 128

UTF‑8 characters.

• User ID and Password—Type a unique user ID, and then type a name for the password. Each password must

have a unique name containing up to 128 UTF‑8 characters.

3 Click Apply Basic Security Setup.

Note: Applying this setup may overwrite a previous configuration.

The new settings will be submitted. The next time you access Security Setup, you will be required to enter the

appropriate authentication information.

Modifying or removing Basic Security Setup

From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Security > Security Setup.

2 Enter the appropriate authentication information to gain access to Security Setup.

3 Under Modify or Remove Basic Security Setup, enter your new authentication information.

4 Click Modify Basic Security Setup to enter your new authentication information to gain access to Security Setup,

or click Remove Basic Security Setup to remove all authentication requirements.
