Print Controller Design Guide for Information Security Viewing and Changing Machine Settings Stored in the MFP/LP • As mentioned above, in order to view or change the machine configuration settings obtained by Web SmartDeviceMonitor Professional IS, users must have an administrator-level User Account registered in this utility. Similarly, the network settings can only be changed by users logged in as Network Administrators, and the user settings can only be changed by those logged in as User Administrators. The access control settings for an individual user can only be viewed by the user who is registered with that account, or by any of the administrators mentioned above.

Deleting, Pausing or Resuming Print Jobs To delete the current job or all active jobs at once, the operator must have Machine Administrator-level access privileges. In addition, the operator must have already logged in to SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin as a Machine Administrator. As mentioned above, the operator can delete, pause, or resume a print job from DeskTopBinder. The printer driver uses a track ID to identify each individual print job. When the operator initiates the deletion, pause, or resumption of a print job, DeskTopBinder sends Netfile the request along with the track ID for the job in question. As long as the track ID is not stolen from the communication path between the PC and MFP/LP (which can be protected against by enabling SSL encryption) or from the PC itself, it is impossible to perform any unauthorized operations on these print jobs.

Viewing and Changing Machine Settings Stored in the MFP/LP
As mentioned above, in order to view or change the machine configuration settings obtained by Web
SmartDeviceMonitor Professional IS, users must have an administrator-level User Account registered
in this utility. Similarly, the network settings can only be changed by users logged in as Network
Administrators, and the user settings can only be changed by those logged in as User Administrators.
The access control settings for an individual user can only be viewed by the user who is registered
with that account, or by any of the administrators mentioned above. These administrators are the only
individuals who can view the user counter values.

User Authentication Tickets (MFP models only)
Performing User Authentication with authentication tickets provides stronger security by eliminating
the need to send the user’s password over the network each time.
Deleting, Pausing or Resuming Print Jobs
°
To delete the current job or all active jobs at once, the operator must have Machine Administrator-level
access privileges. In addition, the operator must have already logged in to SmartDeviceMonitor for
Admin as a Machine Administrator.
°
As mentioned above, the operator can delete, pause, or resume a print job from DeskTopBinder. The
printer driver uses a track ID to identify each individual print job. When the operator initiates the
deletion, pause, or resumption of a print job, DeskTopBinder sends Netfile the request along with the
track ID for the job in question. As long as the track ID is not stolen from the communication path
between the PC and MFP/LP (which can be protected against by enabling SSL encryption) or from the
PC itself, it is impossible to perform any unauthorized operations on these print jobs.
