Printer Management

Protected mode for the front panel menus

You can have the printer enter "protected mode" to prevent users from changing front
panel settings that may impact the prints of other users. Instead, users select printing
features, such as color corrections, through the printer drivers only. In protected mode,
users can access all menus except the

Printer Setup Menu

and the

Network Setup

Menu

.

Note

You can temporarily override protected mode. Enter the menu system
(by highlighting

Menus

and pressing the OK key), hold down either the Cancel

key or Scroll Up key, and press the Back key. You can then access the

Printer

Setup Menu

or the

Network Setup Menu

. These two menus are hidden again

as soon as you exit the menu.
