When the data security kit is installed
About the lockout function
When entering passwords, including administrator passwords, during user
authentication, the number of incorrect password attempts is counted, and if
the number of attempts reaches the specified number (three), the user
account is locked, and the user is blocked from making any more attempts
at authenticating their account until a period of five minutes has elapsed.
The number of incorrect entries made is counted separately for each user,
and the count is reset when the correct password is entered.
Q
Lockout settings
The lockout settings can be checked by the following procedure.
Tap "Settings (Administrator)" > "System Settings" > "Authentication
Settings" > "Default Settings" > "A Warning when Login Fails" on the
operation panel.
* The "A Warning when Login Fails" setting is always enabled when the
data security kit is installed. Users who have been locked out cannot
carry out printing while they are locked out, even if "Settings
(Administrator)" > "System Settings" > "Authentication Settings" >
"Default Settings" > "Disable Printing by Invalid User" is not enabled.
Q
Canceling lockout
The lockout status for a user's account is cleared after five minutes have
elapsed since that user was locked out.
The lockout status cannot be cleared by turning the power off.
If the power is turned off before the full lockout period has elapsed, the
lockout period will run for five more minutes the next time the power is
turned back on. (This includes unforeseen occurrences such as power
outages.)
If the same user has been locked out, the "Release Operation Lock
Status" key is displayed in the "User Registration" screen for that user. An
administrator can tap this key to carry out a manual clear.
* If the security level is set to High, manual cancellation is not possible.
For more information, see "Setting a high level of security" (page 24 of
this manual)
