Specifying Menu Protect

Menu Protect allows you to limit user permission to access the machine's settings menu. This setting can be used regardless of user authentication. By enabling the Menu Protect setting, you can prevent users from registering or changing programs. To specify the Menu Protect setting, enable administrator authentication for the machine administrator in advance. If you want to enable "Menu Protect", set it to [Level 1] or [Level 2]. Select [Level 2] to impose stricter restrictions on users' access permission to the machine settings. If you want to disable "Menu Protect", set it to [Off]. When the setting is enabled, the machine administrator registers and changes programs.

For details about how to set administrator authentication, see Configuring Administrator Authentication.

For operation privileges that vary according to the menu protect level, see List of Operation Privileges for Settings .

For details about registering and changing programs, see "Registering Frequently Used Functions", For First-time Users.
