Enabling Access Control

When enabling access control, only the registered user will be able to use the printer.

Note:

When Access Control Settings is enabled, you need to notify the user of their account information.

When printing from a computer, set the printer user information on the client computer.

  1. Enter the printer's IP address into a browser to access Web Config.

    Enter the printer's IP address from a computer that is connected to the same network as the printer.

    You can check the IP address of the printer from the following menu.

    Settings > General Settings > Network Settings > (Standard) > Network Status > Wired LAN/Wi-Fi Status

  2. Enter the administrator password to log in as an administrator.

  3. Select in the following order.

    Product Security tab > Access Control Settings > Basic

  4. Select Enables Access Control.

    If you enable Access Control and want to print or scan from smart devices that do not have authentication information, select Allow printing and scanning without authentication information from a computer.

    Epson's Windows printer driver allows you to set user information in advance. In Mac OS, you need to enter user information each time you print.

  5. Click OK.

    The completion message is displayed after a certain period of time.

    Confirm that the icons such as copy and scan are grayed out on the printer's control panel.
