Step 1: Create a building block
A building block is required to specify authentication and authorization for device menus and functions. Use the building
blocks to define security templates, and then select a template for each access control.
1 From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Security > Security Setup.
2 Under Advanced Security Setup, click the appropriate building block, and then configure it.
Note: For more information on configuring a specific type of building block, see
“Advanced-security building
blocks” on page 10.
Step 2: Create a security template
Using the Embedded Web Server
One or two building blocks can be combined with a unique name of up to 128 characters to create a security template.
Each device can support up to 140 security templates. Though the names of security templates must be different from
one another, building blocks and security templates can share a name.
1 Click Settings > Security > Security Setup.
2 Under Advanced Security Setup, click Security Template.
3 Under Manage Security Templates, click Add a Security Template.
4 In the Security Template Name field, type a unique name containing up to 128 characters. It can be helpful to use
a descriptive name, such as ”Administrator_Only” or “Common_Functions_Template.”
5 From the Authentication Setup list, select a building block method for authenticating users.
Note: The Authentication Setup list is populated with the authentication building blocks that have been
configured on the device. Certain building blocks such as passwords and PINs, do not support separate
authorization.
6 To use authorization, click Add authorization, and then from the Authorization Setup menu, select a building block.
Note: The Authorization Setup list is populated with the authorization building blocks available on the device.
7 To use group authorization, click Modify Groups, and then select one or more groups to include in the security
template.
Note: Hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple groups.
8 Click Save Template.
Note: For simple authorization‑level security, which uses no individual authentication, administrators can control
access to functions by assigning only a password or PIN to a security template. Users are required to enter the
correct code to access any function controlled by the password or PIN.
Using the control panel
Note: These instructions apply only in printer models with a touch‑screen display.
1 Navigate to the menu screen.
2 Touch Security > Edit Security Setups > Edit Security Templates > Add Entry.
3 Type a unique name to identify the template. Use a descriptive name, such as ”Administrator_Only” or
“Authenticated_Users,” and then touch Done.
