How can Sound Power Solutions help you secure and control access to your Brother print environment?
Unmanaged printer access can lead to security gaps, data exposure, and higher costs. This datasheet explains how Brother's Secure Function Lock and Setting Lock features limit print, copy, scan, and settings access by user or role. Sound Power Solutions can help you align these controls with your technology roadmap, integrate them into your broader IT environment, and train your team so secure printing becomes part of everyday workflows.
What is Secure Function Lock?
Secure Function Lock is a built-in solution that allows administrators to control who can access a machine and what functions they can use. It includes features like page limits and printing restrictions to help manage costs and set permissions for users, such as allowing color printing. This solution is particularly useful for restricting public access to specific functions and defining feature access for users or groups.
How does Setting Lock enhance security?
Setting Lock provides administrators with the ability to set a password that blocks unauthorized access to machine settings. This feature is designed to help prevent confidential information from being accessed by unauthorized individuals, ensuring that only authorized users can make changes to the machine's settings.
What are the benefits of using Secure Function Lock?
Secure Function Lock offers several benefits, including cost control by managing access to printing functions and reducing unnecessary expenses. It eliminates the need for additional management software, servers, and external card readers. Additionally, it allows for tracking and reporting of user activity when job logging is enabled, providing insights into printing behavior and usage.
