Securing the Printer in a High-Security
Environment
If your printer is located in a high-security environment, such as a college or printing kiosk, you can
secure the printer fully. If your printer is not located in a high-security environment, you might only
need to set up a certificate and then configure SSL to encrypt data including passwords.
To secure a printer fully:
1. In CentreWare IS, set up a certificate. For details, see Managing Certificates on page 56.
2. Select when to use SSL, see Configuring SSL on page 57.
Note: The following steps can be completed in any order.
3. Select the Administrator and Key User Settings. For details, see Configuring Administrator and
Key User Settings on page 58.
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. For details, see Configuring the Print Host Access List on page 59.
5. Enabling the Hard Drive Overwrite option. For details, see Securing the Hard Drive on page 62.
6. Set up the removal of Unprinted Personal, Secure, and Proof Print Jobs. For details, see Selecting
the Automatic Removal of Secure, Personal, and Proof Jobs Option on page 63.
7. Select the Jam Recovery option. For details, see Jam Recovery on page 88.
8. Lock the control panel menus. For details, see Locking the Control Panel Menus on page 76.
9. Configure SNMP. For details, see Configuring SNMP on page 77.
10. Disable unused protocols. For details, see Protocol Control on page 35.
11. Disable Job Accounting. For details, see To Enable or Disable Job Accounting on page 29.
Note: Disable any protocols you are not using to prevent 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.
