6. Glossary
Active Directory (AD)
An advanced, hierarchical directory service that comes with Microsoft Windows
servers (version 2000 or later). It is LDAP-compliant and built on the domain
naming system (DNS) used on the Internet. Workgroups are given domain names,
exactly like Web sites, and any LDAP-compliant client – such as Windows, Mac, or
Unix – can gain access.
Adobe PostScript
Developed by Adobe, this is the standard page description language (PDL) for the
graphics arts industry and commercial printing. Many printing devices support
PostScript with a built-in PostScript interpreter
Color Access Control
Settings to determine which users and/or applications are allowed to print in color
Device Password
(LJ feature)
This is equivalent to the designjet’s web server password. It helps protect the
printer from unauthorized access through remote applications
Domain Naming System (DNS)
Converts host names and domain names into IP addresses on the internet or on
local networks that use the TCP/IP protocol.
Embedded Web Server (EWS)
The EWS resides on a hardware device (such as an HP Designjet) or in the printer
firmware. The EWS enables you to review, configure, and change settings on an
HP Designjet after inputting an IP address into a Web browser from your computer
File System Access settings
(LJ feature)
File system access settings: The File System Access options enable you to
completely disable many of the access points to the printer’s data storage
system. These access points are for various types of usage for the printer. The
options are:
 PJL disk access
 SNMP disk access
 NFS disk access
 PS disk access
HP recommends enabling PS Disk Access to allow you to print PS files, and
disabling the rest
File System Password (LJ
feature)
The File System Password feature helps protect the printer’s data storage system
options from unauthorized access. With the File System password configured, the
printer requires the password before it will allow configuration changes to
features that affect the data storage system. Some of these features are the
Secure disk erase mode, the Secure Storage Erase feature, and the File System
Access options.
Hide IP address from front
Panel
An option in the Service Utilities menu of the front panel to show/hide the Internet
Protocol (IP) address of your printer. If the address is hidden, only registered users
or network administrators will know the correct address to submit jobs to the
printer
