HP DesignJet and HP PageWide XL Printers - Security Features

HP DesignJet Printers Security Settings

• Certificate Authority certificate

You can install and manage a CA certificates in the printer. The CA certificate is used to validate the identity

of the network servers you may connect to, such as SSL or LDAP servers secured with SSL.

Embedded Web Server (EWS) access control

The Embedded Web Server is a powerful tool which enables direct management of devices such as the HP LaserJet

or the HP DesignJet printers. With no security in place, however, this tool also has the potential to have a

negative

effect on many features, as they can be configured using just a web browser and knowing the IP address

of the

printer. To solve this situation, we have implemented two levels of access to our compatible HP DesignJet

printers.

The Security page enables users to:

• Restrict access to the printer by setting an administrator user account.

• Define two levels of access: Administrator and Guest (Guest account not available in HP PageWide).

If the two levels of access have been set, and you have neither of the passwords, then you will not be able to gain

access to the EWS information, as in the image below.
