TMA-MFD-1.1.4
Require PIN for Administrative Control Panel
Description
MFDs can commonly be configured to require an authorization code before granting access to the device’s control panel. It is recommended that authentication and authorization mechanisms be enabled for administrative control panel access. Requiring an authentication PIN to administer the MFD will ensure the availability of the device and the integrity and confidentiality of print, fax, and scan data.
