Figure 1: SNMP v1/v2 settings in the Embedded Web Server (EWS)
Note: Printer drivers, Fleet management tools and printing device solutions that require SNMNP access to query the
device for print capabilities are not affected by disabling the SNMPv1/v2 write access, requiring only read access.
Note: See Appendix A – Print Solution and Fleet tool Impacts for effects on device solutions and fleet management
tools.
Printer Job Language (PJL) / Postscript (PS) Drive Access
The PJL and Postscript print languages support commands providing access to the device mass storage device; typically
a HDD. This access is commonly used to install onboard printing solutions and specialized fonts.
New Default:
The Secure by Default initiative disables the “Enable PJL Drive Access” and “Enable PS Drive Access” settings.
EWS Setting Configuration Path:
Security Tab ->General Security Menu

PJL Device Access Commands
The “Enable PJL Device Access Commands” setting enables PJL management command structures over the PJL protocol.
This includes changing the printing device control panel messages, changing printer default settings and sending SNMP
commands over PJL.
