Printer Driver Device Settings Clearing the Administrator Password You can remove the administrator password. 1 In Device Settings, click Administrator. 2 In the Enter Password text box, type the password and click OK. 3 In the Administrator Settings dialog box, clear the Password protect administrator settings check box and click OK. SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a set of rules that govern the management of network devices, such as printing systems. These settings determine the level of security when using the Auto Configure feature, and prevent unauthorized printing to the SNMPv3 printing system. SNMP settings must be set in the printer driver and in the printing system's Command Center RX. The following options are available: SNMPv1/v2c This option ensures successful Auto Configure communication using Read community name and Write community name. SNMPv3 This option ensures secure Auto Configure communication using a user name and password. Authentication and privacy options are available by selecting Settings. Apply to other models This option displays a list of installed printing systems to apply the selected settings. SNMPv3 Options You can select options for secure communication with the printing system. Authentication This option provides an algorithm to check that a transferred file has arrived intact. Message Digest 5 (MD5) and Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA1) are hash algorithms used to authenticate packet data. MD5 This option provides a cryptographic hash function with a 128 bit hash value. It adds security and protection against Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP)-spoofing software. SHA1 This option produces a message digest that is 160 bits long. SHA1 is the successor to MD5. Privacy This option uses encryption for secure communication. It is available after you select the Authentication option. You may select one Privacy option. DES This option uses the Data Encryption Standard for encryption. DES turns cleartext into ciphertext via an encryption algorithm. It encrypts and decrypts data using 8-byte blocks and a 56-bit key. 2-6

Clearing the Administrator Password
You can remove the administrator password.
1
In
Device Settings
, click
Administrator
.
2

SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a set of rules that govern the
management of network devices, such as printing systems. These settings
determine the level of security when using the
Auto Configure
feature, and
prevent unauthorized printing to the SNMPv3 printing system. SNMP settings
must be set in the printer driver and in the printing system’s
Command Center
RX
.
The following options are available:
SNMPv1/v2c
This option ensures successful
Auto Configure
communication using
Read
community name
and
Write community name
.
SNMPv3
This option ensures secure
Auto Configure
communication using a user
name and password. Authentication and privacy options are available by
selecting
Settings
.
Apply to other models
This option displays a list of installed printing systems to apply the selected
settings.
SNMPv3 Options
You can select options for secure communication with the printing system.
Authentication
This option provides an algorithm to check that a transferred file has arrived
intact. Message Digest 5 (
MD5
) and Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (
SHA1
) are hash
algorithms used to authenticate packet data.
MD5
This option provides a cryptographic hash function with a 128 bit hash value.
It adds security and protection against Gateway Load Balancing Protocol
(GLBP)-spoofing software.
SHA1
This option produces a message digest that is 160 bits long.
SHA1
is the
successor to
MD5
.
Privacy
This option uses encryption for secure communication. It is available after you
select the
Authentication
option. You may select one
Privacy
option.
DES
This option uses the Data Encryption Standard for encryption.
DES
turns
cleartext into ciphertext via an encryption algorithm. It encrypts and decrypts
data using 8-byte blocks and a 56-bit key.
