If there is no administrator account, restricted operations can be accessed without a password.
3.4.1 Guest password
Once the administrator user account has been set, the administrator can also set the guest user account by
specifying a password for the guest.
If the guest user account is set, a username and password are required for all EWS operations: users
indentified as guests have access to restricted operations, whilst users identified as administrators have access to
all operations.
If the guest account is not set, a username and password are not required for unrestricted operations.
Notes:
• Some printers only have 1-level password access to the Embedded Web Server.
• The networking tab of the Embedded Web Server allows you to setup another password. If the
printer has an EWS 1-level or multi-level password, then the networking password is common with
the general EWS password. If the EWS does not have password capabilities then the networking
password is only used for controlling access to the networking area of the EWS.
• For most printers that have a EWS password capability, it is also possible to setup the admin
password through Web JetAdmin, however only one level can be set so that Guest password
cannot be setup from Web JetAdmin.
