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 printer more safely, we recommend that you change the settings
immediately after installing the printer.
Change the system administrator's passcode, and SNMP protocol's community
name and authentication password from the default values.
Changing these settings prevents the printer 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 printer, set the IP address filtering setting
to prevent the printer from illegal access from an external network (browsing job
history or accessing the data stored in the printer).
Set [Login Method] to [Local] or [Network].
Select [Local] to use the user information registered on the printer to manage
authentication. Only the users who have succeeded in the authentication can use
the printer. When using this method, entering user ID is required to log in.
For information on how to change the system administrator's passcode, refer to "Changing User
Password from the Printer Configuration Web Tool" (P.123).
For information on how to change the SNMP authentication information, refer to "SNMP" (P.92).
For information on how to set the IP address filtering, refer to "IP Address Filtering" (P.103).
For information on how to set the login method, refer to "Login Method" (P.95).
