Provide user access credentials at the printer control panel
Use the following steps to sign into the control panel.
Some features on the printer control panel can be secured so that unauthorized people cannot use them. When
a feature is secured, the printer prompts you to sign in before you can use it. You can also sign in without waiting
for a prompt by selecting Sign In from the printer control panel.
Typically, the credentials for signing in to the printer are the same as for signing in to the network. Consult the
network administrator for this printer if you have questions about which credentials to use.
