PostScript Passwords
The PostScript language includes commands that allow PostScript print jobs to change the printer
configuration. By default, PostScript jobs can use these commands, and a password is not required. To
ensure that unauthorized changes are not made, you can require PostScript jobs to include a password.
You can enable the following passwords:
• Run Start Job: This password controls the execution of the Sys/Start file.
• System Parameters Password: Use this password to control the execution of PostScript programs
that modify PostScript system parameters.
• Start Job Password: The Start Job password, used with the Startjob and Exitserver operators,
restricts PostScript jobs from running unencapsulated to prevent them from changing default
printer settings.
For details, see the Help in CentreWare Internet Services.
