can be registered and selected.)
Example: To specify accessible IP addresses between 192.168.0.10 and

192.168.0.20:

msh> access 1 range 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.20

Note

❒ The access range restricts the workstations from which printing is possible

by means of an address. If you do not need to restrict printing, make the

setting “0.0.0.0”.

❒ The entry is invalid if the start address is greater than the end address.

❒ Up to five access ranges can be specified. The entry is invalid if the target

number is omitted.

82

❒ Sessions other than those from a Web Image Monitor or telnet are limited

by access control.
