Hi,

 

I would like to put a password on the printer that has to be entered on the touchscreen before jobs come off.

How do I do this please?

 

Thank you

Hi @Trundle,

 

I'd like to help!

 

We could set an administrator password, this will avoid others from changing the settings on your printer.

 

But, we cannot set a password to avoid someone from printing.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
