Preventing Unauthorized Access

When access by the Administrator of the machine through the Administrator Settings via the control panel is
authenticated, the machine enables setting of the operation of Prohibited Functions When Authentication
Error. The machine then takes a count of the number of unsuccessful accesses to the Administrator Settings,
User Authentication, Account Track, SNMP authentication, WebDAV authentication, Secure Print
authentication, and User Box authentication to prohibit the authentication operation.

Either [Mode 1] or [Mode 2] can be selected for Prohibited Functions When Authentication Error. The factory
setting is [Mode 1]. If the Enhanced Security Mode is set to [ON], it is prohibited to change the setting from
[Mode 2] (check count: three times). It is nonetheless possible to change the check count to select from
among once, twice, or three times (twice, four times, or six times for the WebDAV authentication). If [Mode
2] is selected, the Release Time Settings function is enabled. When the Administrator Settings is set into the
access lock state, the main power switch is turned off and on and, after the lapse of a predetermined period
of time after the machine is turned on again, the access lock state of the Administrator Settings is canceled.
The Release Time Settings function allows the period of time, after the lapse of which the access lock state
of the Administrator Settings is canceled, to be set in the range between 1 and 60 min. The factory setting is
5 min. For details of each mode, see the table below.

Note

If the access lock state of the Administrator Settings is canceled by the Service Engineer, the setting of
the Release Time Settings function is not applied.
