Using the Operator Panel Menus 167
Panel Lock Function
When your printer is configured as a network printer available to a number of users, the access to the
operator panel menus can be limited by enabling the Panel Lock. This prevents unauthorized users
from changing the settings made by the administrator. However, you can select settings for individual
print jobs using the print driver.
