Once a menu is password protected, you cannot enter the menus or
make changes in it until you enter a valid password. You’ll know
whether or not the menu is password protected when you press the
Select key when trying to enter the menu structure. If the menu is
password protected,
ENTER PASSWORD appears on the message
window. Passwords are entered as alphanumeric values. If you enter
an invalid password, the message window flashes
INVALID PASS-
WORD for three seconds, and then returns to the parent menu. If you
forget the password, the System Administrator can easily recover it
by following the installation procedure again. When the correct pass-
word is entered, the submenu displays. The password for these two
menus may be the same or different. See “Installation Menu” in chap-
ter 2, “Printer Configuration,” for more information.
» Note: Password protection does not prevent software commands from
changing functions.
