prevent non-administrators from changing the settings in the General Settings menu.
1. Make sure you have set an administrator password.
2. Do one of the following:
• To lock the settings using Web Config, access Web Config and log in using the administrator
name and password. Select Device Management > Control Panel. Enable the Panel Lock
setting and click OK.
• To lock the settings using the control panel, select Menu > General Settings > System
Administration > Security Settings > Admin Settings. Enable the Panel Lock setting. Select
Yes on the confirmation screen.
