Use Validation mode to limit usage
Validation mode, when used with MarkTrack, collects statistical data about copy jobs, network scans,
and outgoing faxes. However, even if you do not use MarkTrack, Validation mode can be used to limit
MFP usage to authorized individuals.
When Validation mode is active, the MFP control panel displays an Enter Account # prompt. To
unlock the control panel, a user must enter a valid account number using the keypad on the control
panel, and then press Select.
1 Type the IP address of the MFP in the URL field of your browser, and then press Enter.
2 Click Configuration.
3 Click MFP Job Accounting.
4 Select Validation mode.
5 Specify a timeout. The timeout is the amount of time that passes after a scan is completed
before the control panel is relocked.
6 Click Submit.
