Setting security on the printer
This printer features control panel locking, which allows network administrators to prevent
users from changing certain printer control panel settings. When a menu is locked,
unauthorized users trying to change settings in the printer control panel will receive the
following message:
Access Denied
MENUS LOCKED
You can use HP Web Jetadmin software, the HP LaserJet Utility for Macintosh, or an ASCII
escape sequence to perform this procedure. For instructions on locking the printer control
panel using either the HP Web Jetadmin software or the HP LaserJet Utility for Macintosh,
see the online Help for these utilities.
Locking the control panel
You can prevent users from changing printer control panel settings by establishing a
password and locking the printer control panel. You can choose from multiple levels of
security. You can lock certain control panel menus, allowing users to change the rest of the
menus, or you can lock all of the menus—and you can even lock the S

button.
