System administrators can control user access to the front panel menus with PhaserLink Printer Mangement Software or the following utility files (refer to
Using the files on the printer's CD-ROM
for instructions on dowloading utility files):
Macintosh utility files:
-
Menu Short
(limits menu access)
-
Menu Long
(expands menus)
PC utility files:
-
MENUSHRT.PS
(limits menu access)
-
MENULONG.PS
(expands menus)
The "short" utility files limit the menu items displayed on the front panel, preventing users from changing front panel settings that may affect the prints of other users. Users instead select printing features -- such as color corrections -- through their applications only. In the protected mode, users can access all menus except the
Default Printer Settings,
Advanced Printer Settings, and
Network Settings.
The "long" utility files reset the front panel to display full menus and allow full access to the settings.
If you used the
Menu Short or
MENUSHRT.PS
file to limit the front panel menus, you can temporarily restore the full menus:
-
When the
Ready to Print
message appears, scroll to
Menu; press
Select.
-
Scroll to
Printer Configuration; press
Select.
-
Hold down the
Left
arrow and press
Select. The
Default Printer Settings
and
Network Settings
selections are added to the menu and are removed again when the
Printer Configuration
menu is closed.
Job Accounting
The printer stores a log file containing information about jobs printed. The file is a list of job accounting records. Each record contains fields such as user name, job name, pages printed, job times, and ink used. Job accounting is available through the PhaserShare Administrator and PhaserLink Printer Management software.
For more information on Job Accounting, see the
PhaserShare Networking Manual
on the printer's CD-ROM or web site.
