Limiting access using basic security setup
Use Basic Security Setup to limit access to the Embedded Web Server 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 advanced

unrestricted access to the Embedded Web Server.
