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.
There are two methods for entering/exiting protected mode:
■
