3-3 Levels of access and control
Passwords
You can implement passwords as a means of controlling access to GA-1120 functions.
The GA-1120 allows you to set the following passwords in Setup:
•Administrator—from the Control Panel or Command WorkStation
•Operator—from Command WorkStation or WebSetup
NOTE: By default, no passwords are set on the GA-1120. 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.
We strongly recommend that you set at least an Administrator password to protect
the GA-1120 from random or accidental changes to Setup.
Administrator privileges
Administrator control, which confers control of Setup, is the highest level of control,
since the person who has access to Setup can control the printing and job management
environment. Administrator privileges include publishing print connections, setting
passwords, deleting fonts, controlling print jobs from the job management tools,
overriding job settings, clearing the GA-1120 of all job data, performing calibration,
defining default color profiles, and setting default values for print options.
When performing a function from the GA-1120 Control Panel that prompts you for
the Administrator password, you must enter it promptly. Otherwise, the GA-1120
Control Panel returns to Idle, and you must start over again.
Operator privileges
Operator control includes control of print jobs from the job management tools,
including the ability to override job settings.
Guest privileges (no password)
No password is needed for a user to log in as a Guest from the job management tools.
A Guest can view the status of active jobs but cannot make changes to jobs or to the
GA-1120 state.
