HP Designjet Printers - Security Features

HP Designjet Printer Series Security Settings
27
Job Held Timeout
(LJ feature)
This feature is part of the Job Retention feature. It limits a held job to the
selected time, and then the printer deletes it. You should select a reasonable
timeout value for this setting to allow enough time for a user to walk to the
printer to print a job or to allow time for jobs to print in a queue.
Job Retention
(LJ feature)
This feature provides job retention options such as private job and hold job.
You will be able to ensure that they are present during printing to provide
privacy for documents in the printer output bins.
Multicast DNS (mDNS)
Also known as Bonjour or Rendezvous, mDNS uses IP multicast with DNS to
provide the capabilities of a DNS server for service discovery in a small
network that does not have a DNS server.
PJL Password
(LJ feature)
The PJL password feature helps protect the printer from unauthorized
configurations through Print Job Language (PJL) commands. It does not affect
ordinary print jobs. Once the PJL password is configured, the MFP requires it
before it will process any of these commands
Remote Firmware
Upgrade
(LJ feature)
This service allows an administrator to use a custom application to upgrade
the printer’s firmware remotely. Since HP recommends using HP Web
Jetadmin to upgrade MFP firmware, you should disable Remote Firmware
Upgrade.
Simple Network
Management Protocol
(SNMP)
This is a network monitoring and control protocol.
SNMPv3
SNMP (Simple Network Management protocol) allows users to manage the
printer using SNMP management tools, such as HP Web JetAdmin. SNMP is
also the protocol for communicating from the printer to the Windows driver.
SNMPv3 provides security through user authentication and data encryption
Subnet
A logical division of a local area network, which is created to improve
performance and provide security. A subnet limits the number of nodes that
compete for bandwidth.
Authentication Manager
(LJ feature)
It allows administrators to secure Device Functions by requiring users to log in
with a specific Log In Method for each Function. For example, users may be
required to log in with an Access Code or PIN to make copies yet be required
to log in with a username and password to send e-mails.
Log In Methods: The following Log In Methods are available with the latest
device firmware upgrade:
Group 1 PIN: Requires users to input a numeric code for access when at the
control panel of the device. The numeric code entered by the walk up user is
compared to the first of two PINs stored on the device by the Administrator.
When the PIN is entered correctly, the user can proceed.
Group 2 PIN: Requires users to input a numeric code for access when at the
control panel of the device. The numeric code is compared to the second of
two PINs stored on the device by the Administrator.
LDAP: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, Requires users to input a
username and password that are verified by an LDAP server.
HP Digital Send Service (if available): Also known as DSS. Requires users to
enter credentials that are verified by the HP Digital Send Service software.
(HP Digital Send Service software must be available to use this Log In
Method. If no DSS server is associated with this device, walk-up users will not
be required to authenticate before using the device.)
Kerberos: Requires users to enter a username and password to be verified by
a Windows Server
