Some features on the printer control panel can be secured so that unauthorized people cannot use them. When
a feature is secured, the printer prompts you to sign in before you can use it. You can also sign in without waiting
for a prompt by selecting Sign In from the printer control panel.
Typically, the credentials for signing in to the printer are the same as for signing in to the network. Consult the
network administrator for this printer if you have questions about which credentials to use.
1. From the Home screen on the printer control panel, select Sign In.
2. Follow the prompts to enter the credentials.
NOTE: To maintain security for the printer, select Sign Out when you have nished using the printer.
IP Security
IP Security (IPsec) is a set of protocols that control IP-based network traic to and from the printer. IPsec
provides host-to-host authentication, data integrity, and encryption of network communications.
For printers that are connected to the network and have an HP Jetdirect print server, you can congure IPsec by
using the Networking tab in the HP Embedded Web Server.
Lock the formatter
The formatter has a slot that you can use to attach a security cable. Locking the formatter prevents someone
from removing valuable components from it.
Encryption support: HP High Performance Secure Hard Disks
The hard disk provides hardware-based encryption so you can securely store sensitive data without impacting
printer performance. This hard disk uses the latest Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and has versatile time-
saving features and robust functionality.
Follow these steps to congure the disk in the HP Embedded Web Server:
1.
From the Home screen on the printer control panel, select the Information icon, and then select the
Network icon to display the IP address or host name.
2. Open a web browser, and in the address line, type the IP address or host name exactly as it displays on the
printer control panel. Press the Enter key on the computer keyboard. The EWS opens.
NOTE: If the web browser displays a message indicating that accessing the website might not be safe,
select the option to continue to the website. Accessing this website will not harm the computer.
