System requirements
We strongly recommend that you review all system requirements before you set up the imagePRESS Server.
Note:
To ensure proper communication between the printer and the imagePRESS Server, make sure that the printer
IP settings are configured for DHCP.
Levels of access and control
When you configure the imagePRESS Server during initial setup, you implement a particular level of control by
configuring users and groups, print connections, and access to WebTools.
Users and groups
Use Configure to create users, assign passwords to users, create groups with specific privileges, and assign users to
the groups.
Several groups are provided by default, and you can create new groups. All users in a group have the same privileges.
In addition to assigning the users to a group, you can add users from your organization’s global address list if you
enable LDAP services on the imagePRESS Server. The following topics are an overview designed to help you prepare
a security strategy. You can view detailed information about users and groups in Command WorkStation.
For more information, see
Command WorkStation Help
.
User authentication
The term user authentication means that the imagePRESS Server verifies that the user who is sending a job belongs
to a group that has printing privileges.
You can control user authentication on the imagePRESS Server from Configure in
Security
>
Printing Privileges
.
Note the following:
•
By default,
Allow printing from
is set to
All users
, meaning authentication is not required and anyone can send
jobs to the imagePRESS Server. Even if you assign passwords to users and assign users to groups, authentication
is not required.
•
If you set
Allow printing from
to
Authorized users
, users must enter their user name and password in the printer
driver when they print. Users must specify their user name and password if they create files from the printer
driver for printing later (such as an email attachment that is sent to the imagePRESS Server).
Note:
You cannot enable imagePRESS Server authentication and printer authentication at the same time.
Because jobs that are sent through FTP do not require a printer driver, you can specify that FTP jobs are
authenticated. In Configure, see
Job Submission
>
FTP Printing
>
Require Password for Printing
.
