To secure your printer and to prevent unauthorized users from accessing previously saved print jobs or printing from your printer, set the printer security settings from this page. You can also turn off printer Job Accounting record storage from this page.

When you are satisfied with your selections, click Save Changes to keep the settings or Discard Changes to keep the previous settings.

Print Host Access List

To prevent unauthorized printing access to your printer, enter the IP Addresses or Host Names of all computers allowed printing access into the Host Access List field. If you enter more than one address or name, separate the entries with a space or a comma, specify ranges with a hyphen, and use a asterisk to represent a group of numbers. The default setting is Unrestricted, which enables all users to access the printer to print their jobs.

Color Access Control

Enter a 4-digit numeric password in the Color Permission PIN field to control access to color printing on this printer. Users must enter this numeric password in their printer driver settings to enable color printing functions and features.

Remove Unprinted Personal, Secure, and Proof Jobs

Select the appropriate setting so that the printer can automatically and securely remove unprinted personal, secure, and proof jobs from the printer hard drive.

Note: This function is only available in printer configurations with a hard drive.

Job Accounting Record

Select or clear the Enabled checkbox to turn the storage of Job Accounting records on the printer on or off. When the checkbox is selected, Job Accounting records are stored on the printer. Job Accounting record storage is Enabled by default. When the checkbox is cleared, and you click Save Changes, the printer stops saving Job Accounting records, and prompts you to select how the printer will treat existing Job Accounting records.
