Printer Management
Protected mode for the front panel menus
You can have the printer enter "protected mode" to prevent users from changing front
panel settings that may impact the prints of other users. Instead, users select printing
features, such as color corrections, through the printer drivers only. In protected mode,
users can access all menus except the Printer Setup Menu, the Network Setup Menu, the
Service Tools Menu, and the calibration menus.
Note
You can temporarily override protected mode. Enter the menu system
(by highlighting Menus and pressing the OK key), hold down the Cancel key and
press the Back key. You can then access the Printer Setup Menu or the
Network Setup Menu. These two menus are hidden again as soon as you exit
the menu.
There are two methods for entering/exiting protected mode:
■
Using CentreWare IS Printer Management software
■
Using utility files

1. From your printer’s Internet Services home page, click Properties.
