HP DesignJet and HP PageWide XL Printers - Security Features

HP DesignJet Printers Security Settings

Control Panel Access

The DesignJet and PageWide technologies allow the printer administrator to lock some features in the control panel

of the device. Currently, there are two modes of control access “Control Panel Access Lock” and “Access Control”,

depending on the model. To use these features, it is compulsory to define an administrator account and password.

In some printers, when setting an Embedded Web Server admin password, you also restrict access to certain front

panel features by default. The protected features on the front panel are:

• Network connectivity & Internet connectivity

• Control firmware upgrades

• Reset factory defaults

• External hard disk connection

• Security

control panel by using either the HP Web Jetadmin or the printer’s Embedded Web Server (depending on the printer

model). This feature prevents unauthorized users from accessing some features on the control panel. Administrators

can specify the level of access as follows:

• Unlock

• Minimum lock

• Moderate lock

• Intermediate lock

• Maximum lock

This option can be enabled from the HP Web Jetadmin as shown below:
