Security
You can set up your MFC with multiple levels
of security using TX Lock (MFC-7420 only),
Memory Security (MFC-7820N only) and
Setting Lock.
TX Lock (MFC-7420 only)
TX Lock lets you prevent unauthorized
access to the MFC. You will not be able to
continue to schedule Delayed Faxes or
Polling jobs. However, any pre-scheduled
Delayed Faxes will be sent even if you turn on
TX Lock, so they won’t be lost.
While TX Lock is on, the following operations
are available:
■ Receiving faxes
■ Fax Forwarding
(if Fax Forwarding was already on)
■ Paging
(if Paging was already on)
■ Remote Retrieval
(if Fax Storage was already on)
■ PC Fax Receive
(if PC Fax Receive was already on)
While TX Lock is on, the following operations
are NOT available:
■ Sending faxes
■ Copying
■ PC printing
■ PC scanning
Note
To print the faxes in memory, turn off TX
Lock.

■ If you have already set the password, you
