How can I prevent public users from changing the settings of my Brother machine?

Setting Lock is a feature that lets you set a password to stop other people from accidentally changing your machine settings. While Setting Lock is on, the following features cannot be changed without a password:

  • Date and Time
  • Station I.D.
  • Quick-Dial settings (Speed Dial, One-Touch, and Group numbers)
  • Mode Timer
  • Paper Type
  • Paper Size
  • Volume
  • Auto Daylight or Clock Change
  • Ecology (Toner Save and Sleep Time)
  • LCD Contrast
  • Setting Lock
  • Dial Restriction (For MFC-7340, MFC-7345N and MFC-7440N)
  • TX Lock or Memory Security

This feature is useful if:

You make extensive use of broadcast and automatic dialing capabilities. Locking the One-Touch, Speed Dial, and Group data ensures that fax broadcasts reach their proper destinations.
