Phaser 840


Set Administrator Password

This page is used to set your printer's PhaserLink software password. When set, this password is required to change printer or network parameters or to access job accounting information via the printer's pages.


NOTE
This password is for PhaserLink software only; it is not related to the PostScript job password.

The factory default password is a blank field (no password needed to change parameters). It is recommended that you set a password to prevent unauthorized changing of the settings you have made. However, be sure to remember the password or record it in a safe place; recovering from a forgotten password can be inconvenient.

The maximum length for a password is ten characters; passwords are case-sensitive.


NOTE
PhaserLink passwords are not encrypted.

Setting a password

  1. From the printer's home page, click Configuration; this displays the View and Configure Settings page.
  2. From the View and Configure Settings page, click Set Administrator Password to display the Set Administrator Password page.
  3. Enter the new password in the New Password field and in the Retype New Password field.
  4. Enter the old password in the Validation Password field. If you are setting the password for the first time, leave the Validation Password field blank.
  5. Click Do/Apply.

If you forget the password

If you forget the password, contact Xerox Technical Support for assistance.
