What to prevent
Setup for the
administrator
password
Locks the system settings,
such as connection setup for
network or USB, detail setup
for fax reception/transmission
or transferring, and the user
default settings.
An administrator sets a
password to the device.
You can set or change from
both Web Config and the
printer's control panel.
Prevent from illegally reading
and changing the
information stored in the
device such as ID, password,
network settings, and
contacts. Also, reduce a wide
range of security risks such as
leakage of information for the
network environment or
security policy.
Setup for access
control
Limits the functions that can
be used on devices, such as
print, scan, copy, and fax for
each user. If you log on with a
user account registered in
advance, you are allowed to
use certain functions.
In addition, after logging on
from the control panel, you
will be logged off
automatically if there is no
activity for a certain period of
time.
Register any user account,
and then select the function
you want to allow, such as
copy and scan.
You can register up to 10 user
accounts.
The risk of leakage and
unauthorized viewing of data
can be reduced by
minimizing the numbers of
functions in accordance with
the business content and the
role of the user.
Setup for external
interface
Controls the interface, such as
USB port that connects to the
device.
Enable or disable the USB
port for connecting external
devices such as USB memory
and USB connection with the
computer.
❏
USB port control: Reduces
the possibility of data
being taken through
unauthorized scanning of
confidential documents.
❏
USB connection of
computer: Prevents
unauthorized use of the
device by prohibiting
printing or scanning
without going through
the network.
