Just had a second-hand C308, that every time I did anything in the Utility Mode I had to put the admin password in and after some digging came across this.
Password Protect The Utility Button
It is now possible to password protect the Utility Button on the Main Screen of the MFP.
This is useful in Multi User Environments to prevent unauthorised access to Utility, User Settings, Device Information, One Touch/ User Box Registration, Consumable Life, Banner Printing, Remote Panel Operation and so on.
With this set, the User will be prompted for a password when pressing the Utility Button - (The Password is the same as the Password used to access the Admin Mode).
Setting Procedure:
Access Tech Rep / System 2 / Software SW Setting:
Password protect access to Utility mode.
Software SW No.200 Hex 00 : Disabled (default)
Software SW No.200 Hex 20 : Enabled
This SW is available for the following models:
- All A3 "E series" devices (Must be on latest Firmware and Function Version)
- All A3 7 and 8 Series Devices
**Note - None e series devices are NOT supported**

Should you wish to just protect the User Settings Menu, this can be done by setting SW 71 to Hex 08
