Printer Management 
Protected mode for the front panel menu 
          
      
System administrators can control user access to the front panel menus with 
PhaserLink or the following utility files (refer to page 93 for instructions on 
dowloading utility files):
Macintosh utility files:
 
Menu Short  (limits menu access)
Menu Long (expands menus)
PC utility files:
  
MENUSHRT.PS (limits menu access)
MENULONG.PS (expands menus) 
The “short” utility files limit the menu items displayed on the front panel, 
preventing users from changing front panel settings that may affect the prints of 
other users.  Users instead select printing features — such as color corrections — 
through their applications only.  In the protected mode, users can access all menus 
except the 
Default Printer Settings
Advanced Printer Settings
, and 
Network Settings
.  
The “long” utility files reset the front panel to display full menus and allow full 
access to the settings. 
If you used the Menu Short or MENUSHRT.PS file to limit the front panel menus, you 
can temporarily restore the full menus:  
1.
When the 
Ready to Print
 message appears, scroll to 
Menu
; press 
Select
.
2.
Scroll to 
Printer Configuration
; press  
Select
.
3.
Hold down the 
Left
 arrow and press 
Select
.  The 
Default Printer 
Settings
 and 
Network Settings
 selections are added to the menu and 
are removed again when the 
Printer Configuration
 menu is closed.
Job Accounting
The printer stores a log file containing information about jobs printed.  The file is a 
list of job accounting records.  Each record contains fields such as user name, job 
name, pages printed, job times, and ink used.   Job accounting is available through 
the PhaserShare Administrator and PhaserLink Printer Management software.
For more information on Job Accounting, see the PhaserShare Networking Manual on 
the printer’s CD-ROM or web site.
