When the user presses the settings icon on the login screen or from the Job List menu, the device will request whether the settings should be set through a QR barcode scan or manual entry.

If Barcode is pressed, the user will be prompted to scan the provided Settings QR barcode.

If Manual is pressed, the application will check whether the system has any remote access users set up against it. If so, the device will prompt for the remote access user and password, to prevent drivers from changing critical application settings. When entered correctly, or if the settings are not locked down, the Settings screen is shown.
