Creating the User Account

Create the user account for access control.

  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 > User Settings

  4. Click Add for the number you want to register.

    Important:

    When using the printer with the authentication system of Epson or other companies, register the user name of the restriction setting in number 2 to number 10.

    Application software such as the authentication system uses number one, so that the user name is not displayed on the printer's control panel.

  5. Set each item.

    • User Name :
      Enter the name displayed on the user name list between 1 and 14 characters long using alphanumeric characters.
    • Password :
      Enter a password between 0 and 70 characters long in ASCII (0x20-0x7E). When initializing the password, leave it blank.
    • Select the check box to enable or disable each function.
      Select the function that you permit to use.
      If you select Print from Computer in Allow only B&W printing, the printer will not accept color printing from computers.
  6. Click Apply.

    Return to the user setting list after a specific length of time.

    Check that the user name you registered on User Name is displayed and changed Add to Edit.

    The administrator who set up the access control should notify the user of the account information and the range of available functions.
