Printing Lockout
Printing Lockout lets you lock or unlock 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. You can assign a PIN
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.

format: http://ip_address/.

jobs. When a user exceeds a specific number of PIN entry attempts, all of that user’s print jobs are deleted. When a user
