HP DesignJet and HP PageWide XL Printers - Security Features

HP DesignJet Printer Series Security Settings

Remote firmware upgrade

This service allows an administrator to configure the printer to check for availability of new firmware versions

and prepare them to be installed. For the administration of large networks with several printers, HP recommends

using the HP Web Jetadmin software to

upgrade the printer or multi-function printer firmware.

Whitelisting

Feature that ensures integrity of all the code and data used to control the printer, guaranteeing that no malicious

code can be executed

FRONT PANEL

Front Panel access lock

This feature allows the printer administrator to define which Front Panel menus and applications are available for

non-administrator users.

Hide IP address from front panel

An option in the Service Utilities menu of the front panel to show/hide the Internet

Protocol (IP) address of your

printer. If the address is hidden, only registered users

or network administrators will know the correct address to

submit jobs to the

printer.

PASSWORDS

File system password

The File system password feature helps protect the printer’s data storage system

options from unauthorized

access. With the File system password configured, the

printer requires the password before it will allow

configuration changes to

features that affect the data storage system. Some of these features are the

Secure

disk erase mode, the Secure storage erase feature, and the File system

access options.

Individual passwords

Each user that wants to interact with the printer must have a different password.

SECURITY EVENTS

Logging and auditing

System to monitor the security of the printers. It requires that the printer logs all the security events and uploads

them to a server. It also requires a tool to generate reports using server data. This feature is part of the Common

Criteria requirements.

Run-time intrusion detection

Detects anomalies during complex firmware and memory operations. In the event of an intrusion, the device

provides information on the intrusion and automatically reboots.
