Printer Permissions
The Windows operating systems include security settings. A user with Administrator (Windows
XP) or Creator/Owner (Windows Vista and 7) access rights uses them to give or limit access for
users to the printer.
If the PC to which the printer is attached has more than one user, set permissions that:
• Give users access to all features of the printer and driver, including messages.
• Messages inform users when they need to change the ribbon, load cards, or fix
problems.
• Prevent any access to the printer by unauthorized users.
