3.4 Embedded Web Server (EWS) multilevel access
The Embedded Web Server is a powerful tool which enables direct management of a device such as an HP LaserJet
printer or an HP Designjet printer, however with no security in place, this tool also has the potential to have a negative
effect on many features, as they can be configured using just a web browser and knowledge of the IP connection to
the printer. To solve this situation we have implemented two levels of access to our compatible HP Designjet printers
as follows:
The Security page enables users to:
• Restrict access to the printer by setting an administrator user account.
• Define two levels of access: Administrator and Guest.
• If the two levels of access have been set, and you have neither of the passwords you will not be able to
gain access to EWS information, see below.
Administrator password
Access control is enabled by setting the “Admin account password”, specifying a password for the user account at
Admin level. You must then provide the Admin password in order to perform any of the following restricted
operations:
• Cancel, delete or preview a job in the job queue.
• Delete a stored job.
• Clear accounting information.
• Change printer’s settings on the Device Setup page.
• Update printer's firmware.
• Change printer's date and time.
