Glossary
Active Directory (AD)
An advanced, hierarchical directory service that comes with Microsoft Windows
servers (version 2000 or later). It is LDAP-compliant and built on the domain
naming system (DNS) used on the Internet. Workgroups are given domain names,
exactly like Web sites, and any LDAP-compliant client – such as Windows, Mac, or
Unix – can gain access.
Adobe PostScript
Developed by Adobe, this is the standard page description language (PDL) for the
graphics arts industry and commercial printing. Many printing devices support
PostScript with a built-in PostScript interpreter
Color Access Control
Settings to determine which users and/or applications are allowed to print in color
Device Password
(LJ feature)
This is equivalent to the designjet’s web server password. It helps protect the
printer from unauthorized access through remote applications
Domain Naming System (DNS)
Converts host names and domain names into IP addresses on the internet or on
local networks that use the TCP/IP protocol.
Embedded Web Server (EWS)
The EWS resides on a hardware device (such as an HP Designjet) or in the printer
firmware. The EWS allows you to review, configure, and change settings on an HP
Designjet after inputting an IP address into a Web browser from your computer
File System Access settings
(LJ feature)
File system access settings: The File System Access options allows you to
completely disable many of the access points to the printer’s data storage
system. These access points are for various types of usage for the printer. The
options are:
PJL disk access
SNMP disk access
NFS disk access
PS disk access
HP recommends enabling PS Disk Access to allow you to print PS files, and disable
the rest
File System Password
(LJ
feature)
The File System Password feature helps protect the printer’s data storage system
options from unauthorized access. With the File System password configured, the
printer requires the password before it will allow configurations to features that
affect the data storage system. Some of these features are the Secure disk erase
mode, the Secure Storage Erase feature, and the File System Access options.
Hide IP address from front
Panel
Option in the Service Utilities menu of the front panel to show/not show the
Internet Protocol (IP) address of your printer. In that way, only registered users or
network administrations will know the correct address to submit jobs to the
printer

IP multicast
A one-to-many transmission of data over an IP network.
IPSec
Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a suite of protocols for securing Internet
Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a
data stream. IPsec also includes protocols for establishing mutual authentication
between agents at the beginning of the session and negotiation of cryptographic
keys to be used during the session.
In our case, IPsec is used to protect data flows between the host and the printer.
Job Held Timeout
(LJ feature)
This feature is part of the Job Retention feature. It limits a held job to the selected
time, and then the printer deletes it. You should select a reasonable timeout value
for this setting to allow enough time for a user to walk to the printer to print a job
or to allow time for jobs to print in a queue.
