12.3 Password
The supervisor programs a Compact Flash memory card directly with
the direct print module. He stores 10 different layouts. As well he
adjusts the printer parameters, like contrast, speed, etc. to the
corresponding values. The user is only supposed to read the layouts
from memory card and to print them. Therefore the supervisor blocks
the function menu and the entry function by a password.
The printer is connected to a PC. The user is only supposed to take
the layouts dispensed by the printer and stick them on. To prevent,
that the layouts or the printer set-up will not be changed, the
supervisor blocks all printer functions (e.g. function menu, entry menu,
etc.) by a password.
The user has to change several texts before printing. It is not allowed
to change any masks (fonts, position, etc.). Therefore the supervisor
blocks the entry of mask and the function menu. By this means the
user indeed can print layouts, but the printer set-up and the masks of
the layouts can't be changed.
To receive a most flexible password protection, the printer functions
will be divided into several function groups:
In the function menu the printer parameters can be changed (contrast,
speed, mode, ...). The password protection prevents modifications at
the printer settings.
With the functions of your Compact Flash card layouts can be stored,
loaded, ....
Here the password protection has to separate, if none or only reading
functions are allowed.
With key quant a print can be produced. In case the printer is
connected to a PC, it can be useful, that the user is not able to
produce a print manually. So the password protection prevents that
prints can be produced manually.
Because of these different function groups the password protection is
very flexible. The printer can be adjusted best to its actual order, as
only certain functions are blocked.
