(MFC-7840W only)

Secure Function Lock lets you restrict Public 
access to certain machine functions (Fax Tx, 
Fax Rx, Copy, Scan and Print

1

).

This feature also prevents users from 
changing the Default settings of the machine 
by limiting access to the Menu settings.

Disabling at least one function is required to 
turn on Secure Function Lock for the Public 
user.

Before using the security features you must 
first enter an administrator password.

Access to restricted operations can be 
enabled by creating a restricted user. 
Restricted users must enter a user password 
to use the machine.

Make a careful note of your password. If you 
forget it, please call Brother Customer 
Service.

Print includes PC-Fax Send as well as all print jobs.

Note

• You can set up to 10 individual users and 

one Public user.

• When you set up a Public user, you can 

restrict one or more of the machine’s 
functions to all users who do not have a 
password.

• Only administrators can set limitations 

and make changes for each user.

• When Print is disabled, PC print jobs will 

be lost without notification.

• When Secure Function Lock is on, you 

can only use 

1.Contrast

, 

6.Polled TX

 or 

7.Coverpg Setup

 in 

the Fax menu.

If Fax Tx is disabled, you cannot use any 
function in the Fax menu.

• Polling Receive is enabled only when the 

both Fax Tx and Fax Rx are enabled.
