Changing the lock-out mode setting

You can turn lock-out mode on or off or change locked functions from lock-out setting mode.
You can select the printer functions to be locked while the lock-out mode is on according to your needs.
Note:
Before entering the lock-out setting mode, you need to load A4 or letter size single-sheet paper or continuous paper that is at least 210 mm (8.3 inches) wide.
Follow these steps to change the lock-out mode setting:
Make sure the printer is turned off.
Caution:
Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least five seconds before turning it back on; otherwise, you may damage the printer.
Turn on the printer while holding down both the Load/Eject and LF/FF buttons for more than five seconds. After five seconds, three LEDs will blink, then release the buttons.
The printer enters the lock-out setting mode and prints a message asking if you wish to print all of the current settings.
If you want to print the current settings, press the Pause button. If you want to bypass printing of the current settings, press the LF/FF button or the Load/Eject button.
The printer prints the first menu and the current value of the menu.
Press the LF/FF button or the Load/Eject button to select the menu parameters which you wish to change. Press the Pause button to scroll through the values within the selected parameter until you find the desired setting. After setting the selected parameter to the desired setting, you may continue to make changes to other parameters by pressing the LF/FF button or the Load/Eject button.
Turn off the printer and exit the lock-out setting mode.
Note:
You may exit the lock-out setting mode by turning off the printer at any time. Any settings you have made remain in effect until you change them again.
