Secure Function Lock is a feature that lets you restrict Public access to certain operations on your Brother machine.  This feature also prevents users from changing the default settings of the machine by limiting access to the Menu settings.

You can set one Public user and up to 25 individual users (restricted users). When you set up a Public user, you can restrict one of more of the machine's functions to all users, unless a user is set up as a restricted user.  Restricted users have access to restricted operations. Restricted users must select the stored user name and password in order to the use the machine.
