Today we are going to look at how to restrict user access using Secure Function Lock on your Brother machine. This video will cover multiple models and operating systems. Even though your machine may not match the model referred to on the screen the overall process will be the same. We will begin by locating the IP Address for your Brother machine by printing a network configuration report. For specific instructions on printing the Network Configuration Report for your model, follow the link in the description to the Brother-usa.com FAQ search page and search for your model. From the basic function screen press the settings icon on the touch screen. Press All settings. Arrow down and press print reports. Arrow down again and press Network Configuration. Press Yes Once the Network Configuration Report prints, you will need to locate your IP Address on the Report. Next, open up a web browser on your Computer and in the address bar enter your IP address from the Network Configuration Report. Then press Enter on the keyboard. Depending on your Network your IP address may appear different than the one shown here. If your Brother machine is password protected, you'll need to enter the password in the login box. Click on the Administrator Tab. Then select the “User Restriction Function” or “Restriction Management” option from the side menu. Now click “Secure Function Lock”….and then click “Submit.” Next we will select which function to restrict on your Brother machine. For example, let’s look at creating a set of restricted functions for a printer being used in a business environment. Click on the “Restricted Functions 1-25” option to open a blank function list. We will start by restricting all the machines features when using Public Mode. This will be become the default setting for the machine. Next we will create a separate mode for authorized users allowing access to all functions of the machine. Enter a name for the mode…and then click “Submit” to save the settings. Now we will need to create a list of users authorized to use the restricted functions. Select a User List from the side menu and add the user names. Please note that all names added to the users list must match the user profile name on that user’s computer for the Secure Function Lock feature to work. To verify your profile Name in Windows, navigate to the C- Drive on your computer and click Users. Record the user name you wish to use and enter it exactly as it appears on your computer. You will also need to enter a 4-digit Pin Number for each user. The PIN Number will allow users to bypass the Public Mode and activate the restricted functions. Finally select the function list you wish to allow for the user. Then click “Submit” On your Brother machine the Public Mode will now prevent people from access the machine’s features without a PIN. Similar messages will be received when attempting to print or scan. Once an authorized user enters their PIN the restricted functions will unlock.
