Securing the Printer in a High Security
Environment
If you are concerned about the security of your printer in a high security environment, such as
a college or printing kiosk, you can configure settings in CentreWare IS to “lockdown” or fully
secure the printer. If you are not concerned about the security of your printer, you may only
need to set up a certificate and then configure SSL to encrypt data including passwords.
To fully secure a printer:
1.
Set up a certificate. (See
Setting Up a Certificate
on page 4-6.)
2.
Select when to use SSL. (See
Configuring SSL
on page 4-7.)
Note:
The following steps may be completed in any order.
3.
Select the Administrator and Key User Settings. (See
Configuring Administrator and Key
User Settings
on page 4-8.)
Note:
To prevent users from changing settings, clear the
Modify Configuration Web
Pages
check box. To prevent users from viewing settings, clear the
View Configuration
Web Pages
check box.
4.
Set up the Print Host Access List. (See
Configuring the Print Host Access List
on
page 4-9.)
5.
Select the Hard Drive Overwrite option. (See
Securing the Hard Drive
on page 4-10.)
6.
Select the Jam Recovery option. (See
Jam Recovery
on page 5-5.)
7.
Lock the control panel menus. (See
Locking the Control Panel Menus
on page 4-13.)
8.
Configure SNMP. (See
Configuring SNMP
on page 4-14.)
9.
Disable unused protocols. (See
Protocol Control
on page 3-6.)
Note:
To secure protocols, disable any protocols you are not using. This prevents
unauthorized access through applications that use these protocols. For example, if you
want to use IPP for a secure printing channel, disable the other printing protocols,
Port 9100 and LPR. Disabling some protocols also disables some printer functions, such
as printer discovery and PrintingScout.
