1. A data capture device, comprising:
- a memory storing a first parameter for a setting;
an input arrangement receiving first authentication data from a user of the scanner; and
a processor comparing the first authentication data to stored data to authenticate the user, the stored data including second authentication data corresponding to at least one user authorized to reconfigure the setting,wherein, if the user is authenticated, the processor adjusts the setting with a second parameter received from the user.

Abstract
Described is a system and method for securing settings of a computing device. A data capture device comprises a memory storing a first parameter for a setting, an input arrangement receiving first authentication data from a user of the scanner and a processor comparing the first authentication data to stored data to authenticate the user. The stored data includes second authentication data corresponding to at least one user authorized to reconfigure the setting. If the user is authenticated, the processor adjusts the setting with a second parameter received from the user.
