In order to increase the security of the MFP, and to ensure that the customer sets the administrator password, an administrator set/change prompt display appears at the first power-up.

Overview

The following Program/Change Administrator screen appears at the first power-up.

When the customers set the administrator/supervisor login password, the screen disappears and the home display appears. The customers, however, can erase this screen with the following procedure if they think there is no need to set the password.

  1. On the Program/Change Administrator screen, press [Change] next to Supervisor and then touch [OK] without entering any password.
  2. Touch [OK] again when the Confirm password display appears.
  3. For Administrator 1, do the same procedure as steps 1 and 2.
  4. Press [OK], then the home display appears.
  5. Turn the main power OFF and ON.

SP5-755-002 allows you to skip this screen temporarily and continue the installation procedure without setting an administrator password. However, the Program/Change Administrator screen appears every time you turn the power OFF/ON, if the password is not set.

Password Setting Procedure

  • For more details about this security issue, see “Notes on Using Multi-Function Printers Safely” supplied with the MFP.

  • When Supervisor / Administrator 1-4 passwords are configured via network, the “Change Supervisor login password” window will not display.
  • The passwords for Supervisor or Administrator 1 to 4 can be set via “System Settings”. But the Program/Change Administrator screen appears every time the power switch is turned ON if the passwords are input this way. So we recommend the customers to set the passwords via network or the Program/Change Administrator screen.

  1. Install the MFP.
  2. Turn ON the main power.
  3. Change the Supervisor login password.
  4. Enter a password.
  5. Press [OK].
  6. Confirm the Password.
  7. Press [OK].
  8. Change the Administrator 1 login password.
  9. Enter the password.
  10. Press [OK].
  11. Confirm the password.
  12. Press [OK].


  13. If necessary, set “Admin. Authentication” ON.
    [User Tools] -> [Machine Features] -> [System Settings] -> [Administrator Tools] -> [Administrator Authentication Management] -> [Admin. Authentication]
    If this setting is OFF, [Login] for administrators is not displayed on the operation panel.
  14. Turn the main power OFF and ON.
