Epson WF-M5899 - User Feature Restriction; Configuring User Feature Restrictions

305
User Feature Restriction
You can restrict available product features for individual users, with different features available to each
user. This requires users to log into the product control panel with their user name and password before
they can use control panel features.
With Windows, you can also restrict printing and scanning from the product software. This requires users
to log into the printing or scanning software, and allows the software to authenticate the users before
printing or scanning proceeds. For instructions on setting up software restrictions, see the help utility in
the printing or scanning software.
