    No options in system settings

    I spoke to a customer today who needs to change the host name before the device goes into the network, so I was trying to talk him through changing it on the panel, this is a new install, and this is a demo machine, when he goes into system settings, the only tab available is admin tools, and the only option in there is service mode lock.
    I did get the host name changed using the WIM, but has anyone got any ideas as to why the tabs are missing

    I realised after posting, and turning off my laptop for the day that I hadn’t added the model, sorry. It’s an IM C3500

    Maybe it has a custom security level set.

    I wonder if someone has set separate Machine and Network administrators. I don;t know if I would tell a user how to get into Supervisor in order to check Admin names and access.

    I would have thought that you would be able to see the options, even if you couldn’t change settings. If admin authentication is turned on and you don’t login you can still see all 6 tabs

    My experience in the field had been that the front panel you can see all the tabs with denied options greyed out. From WIM you could only see what you have access to. Things may have changed with the newer model since I retired.

    That is still the same, so I don’t believe that this is an admin login issue, I did ask the customer to try without logging in as admin, and he saw the same thing.

    System reset, Factory reset, Initialize all.
    Don't know what Ricoh calls reset to factory default but I have had resolved(other brands) some really odd balls this way.

    Edit:
    Of course you don't want to do it on live and working machine especially remote. Just some food for thoughts.
    A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

    Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

    If I was on site, working on the device, I think this is what I would be doing, but, as I’m on the remote assist helpdesk at the moment, I just want to find what’s causing this as I’m pretty certain I will be speaking to this customer again
