CAUTION: If the Access Control List is filled out incorrectly, it can cause complete loss of communication with the MFPs. Be sure to use the correct information. The only way to restore communication is to reconfigure the MFPs to factory default settings. • Disable Allow Web Server (HTTP) access. The MFPs have Embedded Web Servers that provide many of the configuration capabilities that Web Jetadmin provides. If you enable Allow Web Server (HTTP) access, users will be able to access the MFP EWSs without restriction. If you disable Allow Web Server (HTTP) access, only computers listed on the ACL will have access to the EWSs. Later, this checklist recommends disabling the EWSs completely, but disabling Allow Web Server (HTTP) access provides more assurance that no one will have this access. With Allow Web Server (HTTP) access disabled, a browser outside the ACL will show that access is denied. • Configure Fax Setup (Edgeline MFPs). This setting is required to enable other fax-related settings on Edgeline MFPs. It is placed here to ensure that all of the fax settings are available as you continue with the checklist. Note: This checklist assumes that you are using analog fax functions of the MFPs. It does not cover other types of fax that are available on Edgeline MFPs. See the MFP user guide for more information. • Configure Send to Email Setup (Edgeline MFPs). This setting is required to enable other email-related settings on Edgeline MFPs. It is placed here to ensure that all of the email settings are available as you continue with the checklist. • Configure Send to Folder Setup (Edgeline MFPs). This setting is required to enable other send to folder-related settings on Edgeline MFPs. It is placed here to ensure that all of the send to folder settings are available as you continue with the checklist. • Configure Bootloader Password for LaserJet and Color LaserJet MFPs, or configure the Setup Administrator Password for Edgeline MFPs. This password protects against accidental or intentional access to the MFP startup settings. These settings are similar to the BIOS settings on a PC. They affect the services that are loaded when the MFP is turned on. With this password configured, the MFP will prompt for it whenever anyone tries to access the startup settings. If the user enters the wrong password, the MFP will continue to prompt or it. Note: This password setting is permanent. There is no way to reset it or to change it without providing the correct password. Thus, it is extremely important to use a password that can be remembered and to record it in a safe place. • Hide the MFP IP Address Many of the HP MFPs display buttons to show the IP address. This is meant as a convenience, but it can be considered a security risk. Thus, you may decide to hide this button. 73
