Yeah, like I said, that's one of the caveats of it being a global setting. If the customer does want the option to sometimes make color copies, then the only way is using authentication.Originally Posted by emujo2

Well crap!! I just noticed that Bix was talking about printing in the OP which this Control Panel Customize program has nothing to do with. Dammit, I hate when I miss a little detail like that!

This would be good for many other features, but to prohibit color is not one I would use. mainly because this is both Admin and Service mode settings to enable the feature, and once enabled there is no way to allow without a service call. E
Could you imagine...it isn't always about You and what You will or won't do
To install print driver and panel customization tool(if i remember correctly) there's no need to access CE mode nor Admin mode...

You have to add the customization file in service mode, then enable it under ADMIN mode..This isn't the part I have an issue with..It's a nice feature, but for a customer that bought a color machine, and to simply remove the color options leaves them no way to utilize color at all without a service call to remove the custome file. Authenticaiton or account track is a better option to control color IMHO..I guess if the customer says " corporate sent us this color machine and we don't ever want to make a color copy" then sure. E
Okay for registration you must use CE mode agree.
Imagine he Bix has only color machines to lease and Her(Mister) customer tell - we will get your machine but I want no color output for my workers. There are many special cases when one should think out of the box.
Imho if you're always in the box(comfort zone) mind is sleeping(even great mind).

Actually, that's not quite correct. As long as someone (hopefully not everyone and hopefully the default isn't set) in the customer's office knows the admin password, they can just log into admin and choose "Full Functions" which will allow everything to work properly. If they then want to restrict settings, just go back in through admin and choose the button that has the desired restriction. You can have 3 different files installed on the machine in service mode to restrict different things, depending on what is desired at any given point.
For example, let's say on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, the customer wants color blocked because one of the employees likes to make color copies on those days without permission (obviously this is WAY over-simplified and impractical). The Key Op can just choose the No Color button in admin mode (or whatever you named the cpd file) and that will be set. Then on Tuesdays and Thursdays, somebody else likes to staple hundreds of documents for personal use. The Key Op can just go in and choose the button No Staple and set it on those days. With up to three options to choose from and NOT having to call service to change anything, this is a super handy feature I wish I'd known about years ago.
