User Lockout Function
If an incorrect password is entered several times, the User Lockout function prevents further login
attempts under the same user name. Even if the locked out user enters the correct password later,
authentication will fail and the printer cannot be used until the lockout period elapses or an administrator
or supervisor disables the lockout.
To use the lockout function for user authentication, the authentication method must be set to Basic
authentication. Under other authentication methods, the lockout function protects supervisor and
administrator accounts only, not general user accounts.
