Locking the control panel menus using the Embedded Web Server You can use the control panel lockout functionality to create a PIN and choose specific menus to lock. Each time a locked menu is selected, the user will be prompted to enter the correct PIN. The PIN does not affect access through the Embedded Web Server. To lock control panel menus: 1Open a Web browser. In the address line, enter the IP address of the printer or print server to be protected using the format: http://ip_address/. 2Click Configuration. 3Under Other Settings, click Security. 4Click Menu Lockout Setup. Locking the entire printer You can use the printer lockout functionality to create a PIN that must be entered in order to use the printer. When the printer is locked, every print job it receives will buffer to the hard disk. To print the jobs, the user must enter the correct PIN using the control panel. Administrative support 78 Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
Notes: A printer hard disk must be installed in the printer and working properly for the printer lockout functionality to be available. Some data will continue to be processed while the printer is locked. Reports such as user or event logs can be retrieved from a locked printer. To lock control panel menus: 1Open a Web browser. In the address line, enter the IP address of the printer or print server to be protected using the format: http://ip_address/. 2Click Configuration. 3Under Other Settings, click Security. 4Click Printer Lockout PIN.

When a user exceeds a specific number of PIN entry attempts, all of the jobs for that user are deleted. You can set an expiration time for confidential print jobs. When a user has not printed the jobs within the designated time period, all of the jobs for that user are deleted. Note: This functionality is only available on network printers. To modify the confidential print settings: 1Open a Web browser. In the address line, enter the IP address of the printer or print server to be protected using the format: http://ip_address/. 2Click Configuration. 3Under Other Settings, click Security. 4Click Confidential Print Setup. Supporting IPSec Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) provides authentication and encryption at the network layer allowing all application and network connections over the IP protocol to be secure. IPSec can be set up between the printer and up to five hosts, using both IPv4 and IPv6. To configure IPSec using the Embedded Web Server: 1Open a Web browser. In the address line, enter the IP address of the printer or print server to be protected using the format: http://ip_address. 2Click Configuration. 3Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports. 4Click IPSec. Administrative support 79 Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
IPSec supports two types of authentication: Shared Key Authentication—Authenticates any ASCII phrase shared among all participating host computers. This is the easiest way to configure when only a few host computers on the network use IPSec. Certificate Authentication—Authenticates any host computer or subnet of hosts for IPSec. Each host computer must have a public/private key pair. Validate Peer Certificate is enabled by default, requiring each host to have a signed authority certificate that is installed. Each host must have its identifier in the Subject Alternate Name field of the signed certificate. Note: After a printer is configured for IPSec with a host, IPSec is required for any IP communications to take place. Supporting SNMPv3 Simple Network Management Protocol version 3 (SNMPv3) allows for encrypted and authenticated network connections. It also lets a system support person select the desired level of security. Prior to use, at least one user name and password must be assigned from the settings page. To configure SNMPv3 through the Embedded Web Server: 1Open a Web browser. In the address line, enter the IP address of the printer or print server to be protected using the format: http://ip_address/. 2Click Configuration. 3Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports. 4Click SNMP. SNMPv3 authentication and encryption has three levels of support: No authentication and no encryption Authentication with no encryption Authentication and encryption Using 802.1x authentication 802.1x authentication allows the printer to join networks that require authentication before allowing access. 802.1x port authentication can be used with the WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) feature of wireless printers or print servers to provide WPA-Enterprise security support. Support for 802.1x requires the establishment of credentials for the printer, such as certificates. Certificates provide a way for the printer to be known to the Authentication Server (AS). The AS allows network access to wireless printers or print servers presenting a valid set of credentials. You can manage the credentials by using the Embedded Web Server. To install and use certificates as part of the credentials: 1Open a Web browser. In the address line, enter the IP address of the printer or print server to be protected using the format: http://ip_address/. 2Click Configuration. 3Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports. 4Click Certificate Management.
