Changing the Password or Authorization Level

This procedure lets you set the authorization level of the person that is working on

the printer. It also allows you to change the user-authorization password. Access to

higher user-authorization levels is password protected. If you do not know the

current password, access to the requested user authorization level is denied.

The different levels of authorization are:
v

Operator:

No password is required for access to Operator procedures.

v

Key Operator:

The Key Operator has access to all functions except those that are

related to the service and repair of the printer. The following tasks require at

least a Key Operator level of authorization:
– Configure Printer
– Configure Attachments
– Configure Pre/Postprocessor
– Traces
– Calibrate Touch Sensitive Screen
– Front Face

v

Customer Engineer:

The service representative has access to all functions of the

printer. The following tasks require Customer Engineer authorization:
– Service Actions
– Configure Control Unit Trace within Traces

Initial Operation

When the printers are shipped from the factory, they are set for the Key

Operator

user authorization level, which makes all procedures except

service-related activities available. The factory-set password is “all blanks”.

That is, if you change the user level to the Operator level and then want to

go back to the Key Operator level, simply SELECT the OK pushbutton on

the keyboard window when it appears without entering any data.

If you want to maintain a Key Operator authorization level, IBM

recommends that you establish a new password for the Key Operator when

the installation is complete. If you treat all operators as key operators, then

leave the current “all blanks” password as it is.

If you forget or lose the current Key Operator password, the system accepts a

fixed, alternate password for that level. Obtain this alternate password from

your system administrator.
