Guest privileges (no password)
Users do not need a password to log on as a Guest from job management applications.
Guests can view the status of active jobs but cannot make changes to jobs or to the E300 state.
Configuring security features
The E300 includes the following security settings:
•
Restrictions on the allowed IP addresses and ports
•
Controlled email access
•
LDAP authentication
•
Secure Printing
•
Secure Erase
Note:
You can protect the E300 against viruses by using antivirus software to scan it periodically.
Restricting IP addresses and ports
To restrict unauthorized connections to the E300, you can permit only users whose IP addresses are within a defined
range.
You can also close unnecessary ports to reject inbound access from the network. Commands or jobs sent from
unauthorized IP addresses or ports are ignored by the E300.
Controlling email access to the E300
Because you can allow users to print file attachments in email messages sent to the E300, the E300 accepts only valid
attachments (for example, PostScript or PDF files).
Typically, viruses transmitted via email require execution by the receiver. Attachments that are not valid files are
discarded by the E300. Because file types such as .BAT, .VBS, and .EXE can cause virus activity, the E300 does not
process these file types. The E300 also ignores emails in RTF (Rich Text Format) or HTML (Hypertext Markup
Language) format, and any included JavaScript code.
You can define lists of authorized email addresses on the E300. Any email that the E300 receives from an email
address that is not in the authorized list is deleted. For more information, see

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.

Secure Printing
This option allows the printing of highly sensitive or confidential files.
A user printing a file with the printer driver assigns a password to the job. The user must then enter the password to
print the job.
