- Ensure that the administrator password is secure. If it remains set to its factory default, please change it immediately to a strong complex password.
- Restrict non-Admin users from making any address book destination changes.
- When utilizing any external service, avoid registering accounts with elevated privileges—such as those used in systems like Active Directory—on the multifunction printers.
