LDAP authentication
When LDAP communication is enabled to retrieve names and other information for people at your site, you can
specify the type of authentication.
For more information, see
Command WorkStation Help .
Windows Firewall
By default, the Windows Firewall function is disabled on the imagePRESS Server. Do not enable the Windows
Firewall on the imagePRESS Server. If you do, unexpected results may occur.
Antivirus protection
To protect against viruses, scan the imagePRESS Server periodically with antivirus software. Make sure that you start
the antivirus software only when the imagePRESS Server is Idle and not receiving jobs. This prevents errors that may
result if the antivirus software acts while imagePRESS Server attempts to process a job. Use antivirus software to
scan files sent to the imagePRESS Server outside the usual print scenarios, including files copied to the imagePRESS
Server from removable media or a shared network directory.
Removable hard disk drive
The imagePRESS Server provides an option for a removable hard disk drive. If you have this option, you can lock the
hard disk drive for saving files and then remove it to a secure location after turning off the imagePRESS Server. For
more information, see the documentation that accompanies this option.
Network requirements
You must configure network servers to provide users with access to the imagePRESS Server as a network printer.
Before you install the imagePRESS Server on the network, it is strongly recommended that you read
Stages of
installation on the network on page 10. One of the steps is to configure your network environment.
Network protocols
When the imagePRESS Server is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked printer.
The imagePRESS Server supports the following network protocols:
•
TCP/IP, which also includes the DHCP, FTP, HTTP, IMAP, IPP, IPv4, IPv6, LDAP, LPD, LPR, NBT, POP3,
Port 9100, SMB, SMTP, SNMP, SNTP, and SSL/TLS protocols
•
Bonjour, AppleTalk (for font downloads only)
These protocols can run concurrently on the same cable. Computers that use other protocols can print through a
server that uses one of the supported protocols. The imagePRESS Server automatically switches to the correct
protocol, and handles all connections simultaneously.
