Important Security Instructions
The Security Warning screen is displayed before the Home screen when any one of the
following conditions is fulfilled and you enter the System Administration mode.
The system administrator's passcode is the default value.
The SNMP protocol's community name and authentication password are default values.
The Global IP Address is used and [Login Method] is set to [Simple].
To use the machine more safely, we recommend that you change the settings immediately
after installing the machine.
Change the system administrator's passcode, and SNMP protocol's community name
and authentication password from the default values.
Changing these settings prevents the machine from the malicious person's attacks
(changing settings or exploitation of information).
Changing the system administrator's passcode, and SNMP protocol's community name and authentication
password from the default values affects the behavior of cooperative software or utilities. Check the
influence before changing these settings.
When using the Global IP Address on the machine, set the IP address filtering setting to
prevent the machine from illegal access from an external network (browsing job history
or accessing the data stored in the machine).
Set [Login Method] to [Local] or [Network].
Select [Local] to use the user information registered on the machine to manage
authentication. Only the users who have succeeded in the authentication can use the
machine. When using this method, entering user ID is required to log in.

Internet Services" (P.156).
For information on how to change the SNMP authentication information, refer to "SNMP" (P.114).
For information on how to set the IP address filtering, refer to "IP Address Filtering" (P.133).
For information on how to set the login method, refer to "Login Method" (P.118).
