Set the Brother machine to prevent public access to certain features
Secure Function Lock is a feature that enables you to restrict Public access to the following functions of your Brother machine, and also prevents users from changing the Default settings of the machine by limiting access to the Menu settings.
You can enable access to restricted operations by creating a restricted user profile. Restricted users must choose their user name from a list and enter a password to use the Brother machine.
You must set up the Secure Function Lock in the following order:
Step A: Set the administrator password
Only administrators can set limitations and make changes to user profiles. The password you set in this Step A is for the administrator. This password is used to set up users (Step B and Step C) and to turn Secure Function Lock on (Step D).
Step B: Set up the public user mode
Public user mode restricts the functions that are available for Public users. Public users do not need to enter a password to access the features made available through this setting.
Step C: Set up restricted users
You can set up to 25 restricted users with restrictions and a password for functions that are available to them. For example, if you disabled the Scan function for the Public users, however you want to give specific users access to the Scan function, you can set these users up as restricted users with access to the Scan function.
