Web Server
You can use the operator panel lockout functionality to create a PIN and choose specific menus to lock. Each
time a locked menu is selected, the user will be prompted to enter the correct PIN. The PIN does not affect
access through the Embedded Web Server.
NOTE: Locking the printer operator panel will prevent a user from entering the printer operator panel
both remotely and at the printer.
To lock operator panel menus:
Open a Web browser. In the address bar, type the IP address of the printer or print server to be
protected using the format: http://ip_address/.

Creating an Administrative Password
Creating an administrative password allows a system support person to password-protect printer settings.
To prevent a user from changing a printer setting, the operator panel should be locked and an administrative
password should be set. For more information, see Locking the Operator Panel Menus Using the Embedded
Web Server.
NOTE: When the administrative password is set, the web server will require the password to be
entered before the web server will allow the user to enter any link on the Printer Settings page, with
the exception of the report links.
Open a Web browser.1.
In the address bar, type the network printer or print server IP address, and then press Enter.2.
