HP Commercial LaserJet Printers and MFPs - Imaging and Printing Security Best Practices
Chapter 3 HP LaserJet and Color LaserJet MFP Security Checklist 22
Configuring MFP Device Settings
The Device category includes settings that affect some of the normal use of the MFPs. The
following settings affect how jobs are stored, and how long your MFP will wait before a job times
out in a particular way.
1. Click the Device category on the Config tab, to view the following configuration options:
I/O Timeout to End Print Job
The I/O Timeout to End Print Job allows you to specify the amount of time a device should wait
between packets before canceling a job. Setting this timeout will help prevent jobs formed or sent
incorrectly from tying up a print resource. To set this timeout follow the instructions below.
1. From the Device category, select the I/O Timeout to End Print Job menu
(Figure 14).
2. Click checkbox to enable the I/O Timeout to End Print Job setting, and select
a reasonable time the MFP should wait between data packets.

Job Hold Timeout
1. From the Device category, select the Job Hold Timeout menu (Figure 15).
2. Click checkbox to enable the Job Hold Timeout (Figure 15) setting, and select
a reasonable time for printing. This ensures that stored copy and print jobs on the
MFP are erased after a reasonable time.
