Locking the control panel
You can prevent users from changing printer control panel settings by establishing a password and
locking the printer control panel. The control panel offers multiple levels of security. You can lock
certain control panel menus, allowing users to change the rest of the menus, or you can lock all of
the menus—and you can even lock the
[CANCEL JOB] key. When the printer control panel is locked,
unauthorized users who try to change settings at the control panel receive the following message:
ACCESS DENIED
MENUS LOCKED
Levels of security
Use HP JetAdmin software, HP LaserJet Utility for Macintosh, or an ASCII escape sequence to
perform this procedure. HP software, which comes on the software CD-ROM, is easier to use than
an ASCII escape sequence. For instructions about locking the control panel by using either HP
JetAdmin software or the HP LaserJet Utility for Macintosh, go to the online Help for that software.
