Preparing for the Setup

Passwords
Passwords provide a means of controlling access to printer functions:
• Administrator passwords provide the highest level of control,
since the administrator has access to Setup and can control the
printing and job management environment. Administrator
privileges include publishing print connections, setting passwords,
deleting fonts, clearing the printer of all job data, and setting the
WebLink help page destination.
When the Printer Control Panel prompts you for the Administrator
password, you must enter it immediately or the control panel
returns to an Idle state and you must start over again.
• Operator passwords enable control of print jobs from the job
management tools (including the ability to override job settings),
the ability to perform printer calibration, and the ability to override
calibration settings.
• Guests do not require passwords to log into job management
tools. Guests are limited to viewing job status; they cannot make
changes to jobs or to the printer setup.
By default, no passwords are set on the printer. If you do not
specifically set passwords, all users will have administrator privileges,
which include access to important functions such as Setup (including
setting passwords) and job control. It is strongly recommended that
you set at least an Administrator password to protect the printer from
random or accidental changes to Setup.
Where to Set Passwords
Administrator passwords can be set at the Printer Control Panel or in
Fiery WebSetup.
Operator passwords can be set at the Printer Control Panel or in Fiery
WebSetup.
