Overview

Manage Address Book lets you easily and quickly add multiple e-mail and fax shortcuts to the printer address book by

importing a CSV (comma-separated value) file from the Embedded Web Server (EWS). It also lets you export existing shortcuts into a CSV file. You can change the information on the exported file, and then import it using the application to update the contact list on the printer. In addition, the application lets you import internal accounts to the printer using a CSV file. Internal accounts can be used in a security template to provide authentication-level security and authorization for each supported printer.

Using Manage Address Book

Setting up access control from the application

Access controls (also referred to in some devices as “function access controls”) are used to manage access to specific menus and functions on your printer or to disable them entirely. You may set up the access control to protect Manage Address Book from the application itself. This secures the import and export functionality of your printer.

1

Obtain the printer IP address:

•

From the printer control panel home screen

•

From the TCP/IP section in the Network/Ports menu

•

By printing a network setup page or menu settings page, and then finding the TCP/IP section

Note: An IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 123.123.123.123.

2

Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field. The Embedded Web Server appears.

3

From the navigation menu on the left, click Settings or Configuration, and then do one of the following:

•

Click Apps > Apps Management.

•

Click Device Solutions > Solutions (eSF).

•

Click Embedded Solutions.

From the Installed Solutions list, click Manage Address Book, and then click Configure.

5

From the Device Access Control menu, select Security Menu Remotely Access Control to secure the application using basic security setup.

Notes:

•

You can only use either a PIN or a password to provide access to the application. To set a PIN or a password, from the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Security > Security Setup. From the Basic Security Setup section, set your PIN or password.

•

If you set a PIN or password, then you can customize login restrictions to specify the number of failed attempts allowed before locking users out of the application. Click Security > Miscellaneous Security Settings > Login Restrictions.
