Securing access to the home screen

Use this method to require users to authenticate to view and use the printer home screen.

In the Start Time field, enter 0. This prompts the printer to start the secure idle screen immediately (0 seconds)
after a user’s login session ends.

Under the Home Screen Background heading, make sure that Enable is not selected if you do not want users to be
able to change the home screen background image from the printer control panel.
