Password Menu
The TCP series copiers allow access to be restricted by passwords. A different
password can also be set for general use (Operator Password), and for system setup
(Setup Password). The passwords operate independently of each other, so it is
possible, for instance, to have a password required for setup, but no password
required for Operator use. It is also possible to have a single Operator Password to
give access to the whole machine, without additional password requirements for the
Setup Menu. Passwords are optional. Many users never need to use passwords.
Each password must be setup separately. By default, no password is active, and the
machine can be used without passwords. To enable a password, choose either.
Operator Password or Setup Password from the Setup Menu then select Enable
Password.
The system will request a default password. This is a password that is fixed within
every machine –and cannot be changed. The default password is: YES ENTER
YES ENTER YES ENTER. The reason for a default password is to prevent
passwords being enabled accidentally.
Now enter any six-key sequence. The same key sequence will need to be repeated
to confirm the new password. From now on this password will need to be entered
when prompted. Remember, a different password can be set for Operator and
Setup, so be sure to use the correct password.
Each password can be changed or disabled via additional menu items that are
displayed once Passwords have been enabled.
Entering Text
Since there are no letters on the keyboard text must be entered with the arrow keys.
When text needs to be entered all available character positions are displayed between
square brackets as follows:
[_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _]
If the initial text is not defined all blanks will be displayed. Otherwise the starting text
will be displayed. Press the left < or right > arrow to move the cursor the desired
character location. Then press the up /\ or down \/ arrow to increment or decrement the
displayed character.
Following are the differences for each type of text asked for in various places in the
program.
