1.
Select the [Enable Reject Address] check box or the [Enable Permit Address] check box under [Receive/Print Range Setting].
When the [Enable Reject Address] check box is selected, only users (clients) specified in [IP Addresses] are rejected from sending print data to the printer or performing printing.
When the [Enable Permit Address] check box is selected, only users (clients) specified in [IP Addresses] are permitted to send print data to the printer or perform printing.
When both the [Enable Reject Address] check box and the [Enable Permit Address] check box are selected, it is rejected to receive print data to the printer or perform printing by the following kinds of IP addresses.
An IP address which is out of both the setting ranges
An IP address within both the setting ranges
If these check boxes are cleared, all the users can send print data to the printer or perform printing.
[Receive/Print Range Setting] also restricts the settings for which FTP is used.
