The Device Password is synchronized with the EWS password. If you change either of them, the MFP will change the other one to be the same. • Disable Allow Use of Digital Send Service. HP Digital Sending Software is a useful tool for managing MFP digital sending. It is available for purchase at hp.com. HP recommends using Digital Send Service, but it is not covered in this checklist. Thus, this checklist recommends disabling it unless you are using it. With Allow Use of Digital Send Service disabled, no one can manage the MFPs with an installation of Digital Send Service. The MFPs will deny access. • Disable Allow Transfer to New Digital Send Service. This setting is related to the previous setting. If you allow use of Digital Send Service, it is possible for any installation of Digital Send Service to take over management of an MFP. Disabling this setting ensures that the MFPs will allow only one Digital Send Service computer to manage the MFPs. With this setting disabled, the MFPs will deny access to a second Digital Send Service attempting to take over management. Fax Page Options • Configure the Fax PIN. With the fax PIN configured, the MFP requires the Fax PIN be provided before access to held fax jobs is gained at the control panel. This improves security by ensuring that printed faxes are not left in the output trays where unauthorized personnel might see them. NOTE: Stored faxes are not affected by the Job Hold Timeout. The Fax Printing options limit access to timely faxes. You may wish to provide the PIN to a number of people to ensure that someone can print a fax on demand. You can also configure fax alerts to ensure that personnel will know when a fax arrives even though it is not printed upon arrival. Additional Fax Configuration Configure the number of Fax Speed Dials with the Embedded Web server. With the number of fax speed-dials configured and access to these locked down no one can tamper with you speed-dial settings from the front panel of the MFP. Embedded Web Server Page Options • Configure Embedded Web Server Configuration Options. These options limit some of the EWS features that can be misused: • Enable Outgoing Mail. The MFP sends some email, such as automatic fax notifications and consumables alerts, depending on configurations. This Outgoing Mail feature does not affect the MFP send to email functions. It also is not known to affect network security. If you use fax notification or other automatic email alerts, you should enable outgoing email.
