HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

Security Features

1. Introduction & Overview
This document provides an overview of the security and connectivity features supported by HP DesignJet and
PageWide XL printers as of April 2017.
The security features described in this document make the HP DesignJet and PageWide XL printer series particularly
well suited for deployment in environments where network, data, and access control security are important.
In this document, you will find:
•

The description of the features, where to configure them and some recommended values (Section 2,
Security concepts explanation).

•

The tables summarizing the new and existing security features of the HP DesignJet and PageWide XL
printer series and how they are configured using the control panel, Embedded Web Server and/or HP Web
Jetadmin (WJA). Please make sure that your printer has the latest firmware version to benefit from all the
security features (Section 3, Large Format printers: security features summary).

•

The table summarizing the new and existing security features of the HP Scanners compatible with the HP
DesignJet and PageWide XL printers (Section 4, Large Format scanners: security features summary).

•

The list of ports used by the printer and the effect of keep them blocked (Section 5, Ports used in HP
printers).

Note: If your printer is not listed in the table, then these features are not implemented.

2. Security concepts explanation
2.1

Device security

2.1.1

UEFI secure boot

It prevents the loading of unauthorized operating systems (OS) during system startup. This feature is compliant with
the UEFI specification. Non-configurable feature.
2.1.2

Firmware protection

All HP portfolio use signed firmware package, that means firmware packages are digitally signed by the HP Code
Signing group.
The printer is able to check the authenticity of any firmware and install only those signed by HP.
It is really important to keep the printer updated with the latest firmware, that provides you the highest security and
new features.
The firmware can be updated in various ways, although not all them are available in all the printers:
•

Plugging a USB drive with the firmware file in the root folder.

•

Sending the firmware file through EWS.

•

Sending the firmware file through the port 9100, as any other job.

•

Activating the Automatic Firmware Upgrade (AFU): This function connects the printer with the HP server,
checks if there is a new firmware and downloads it. The installation should always be launched from EWS
or printer control panel.

Despite the signature system, the recommendation is to protect the printer from unauthorized firmware upgrades:
•

Protect the EWS access with an admin account (see section 2.2.6, Embedded Web Server (EWS) access
control).

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

2.2
2.2.1

•

Disable the firmware upgrade from USB (see section 2.2.7, USB drive control)

•

Use the Automatic Firmware Upgrade to download the firmware.

Security Features

Device configuration protection
Disable protocols

In some cases, you might want to disable all protocols that you do not plan to use to access your printer. For example,
you might prevent users from sending files via ftp or connecting through telnet to manage the printer network
settings. You can disable unused protocols through the Mgmt. Protocols option in the Embedded Web Server, or the
Network Enable Features in Web Jetadmin.

In the HP DesignJet T830 MFP/T730 printer, the network Management Protocols can be configured from the Network
> Advanced Settings menu.

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

2.2.2

Security Features

SNMP compatibility

SNMP is a protocol to get printer information and to configure it. SNMPv3 is its encrypted version. Enabling it, only
the client applications knowing the keys will be able to access the printer using this protocol.
The main benefits of using SNMPv3 are:
•

Integrity: protects data flowing from side-to-side from being modified by a third party.

•

Authentication: verifies the data source.

•

Encryption: protects data from being accessed by a third party.

•

Access control: restricts the Managed Device data that can be accessed by each Network Management
System.

You can enable and disable the SNMPv3 agent from your printer. You may set up an account that allows a
management application to access the SNMPv3 agent.
The recommendation is to work with SNMPv3 and keep SNMPv1/v2 disabled, if your system allows it.

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

2.2.3

Security Features

Disable connectivity interfaces

Depending on the printer series, there are some USB network interfaces that can be disabled to restrict access to the
printer through these interfaces.
In some products, you can install a Jetdirect card to add extra security features, in this case, you might want to disable
the onboard Ethernet.
The HP Jetdirect 640n is a print networking device that offers high-speed wired functionality, easy set-up, full
manageability, backward compatibility and enterprise-class security features.
Ideal for enterprise and workgroup SMBs requiring full-featured, secure, and backward-compatible print
management of printers and MFPs over shared, wired networks.

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

Security Features

Features: Print at high speed over gigabit networks
•

Quickly connect to shared printers and MFPs throughout your office, over a gigabit network.

•

Maintain rigorous standards through IPv6 network features: more IP addresses than IPv4 and IPsec security.

•

Help reduce administration and operation costs with off-the-shelf functionality and backward compatibility.

See http://www8.hp.com/emea_africa/en/products/print-servers/product-detail.html?oid=5305778 for more
information about the Jetdirect card.
If you enable or disable a connectivity option, the printer will automatically restart. Keep in mind that disabling a
connectivity option could cut off network access to the printer. As a security measure, you cannot disable the
connection that you use to access the Embedded Web server.

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

2.2.4

Security Features

Control Panel Access

The DesignJet and PageWide technologies allow the printer administrator to locks some features in the control panel
of the device. Currently, there are two modes of control access “Control Panel Access Lock” and “Access Control”,
depending on the model. To use these features, it is compulsory to define an administrator account and password.
In some printers, when setting an Embedded Web Server admin password, you also restrict access to certain front
panel features by default. The protected features on the front panel are:
•

Network connectivity & Internet connectivity

•

Control firmware upgrades

•

Reset factory defaults

•

External hard disk connection

•

Security

2.2.4.1

Control Panel Access lock

The control panel access lock is a feature intended for IT administrators, which enables them to lock the device’s
control panel by using either the HP Web Jetadmin or the printer’s Embedded Web Server (depending on the printer
model). This feature prevents unauthorized users from accessing some features on the control panel. Administrators
can specify the level of access as follows:
•

Unlock

•

Minimum lock

•

Moderate lock

•

Intermediate lock

•

Maximum lock

This option can be enabled from the HP Web Jetadmin as shown below:

This option can also be enabled from the T1200 Embedded Web Server as shown below:

Note: When the Intermediate or Maximum locks are set, you will not able to load/unload paper or replace
printheads/ink cartridges without first unlocking the front panel. These options should only be set in specific
circumstances where the implications are known and understood.
Note: None of these levels locks the copy, scan, or print applications.
When the control panel is locked, the applicable menus show a ‘lock’ symbol in the front panel. If a user attempts to
access a “locked” menu entry, a warning message is displayed.

Note: In PageWide XL, when the user attempts to access a “locked” menu, the printer asks for the User password
that is not available when the Control Panel Access Lock is used. To insert the Admin password, click on the top left
corner.

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

2.2.4.2

Security Features

Access Control

The Access Control page is placed in the Setup tab, in the subsection called Access Control.
This function allows you to manage at least three roles of use (depending on the firmware version), defining which
applications are available for each of them.
The Control Panel Access Lock (Setup > Security) should be set to unlocked (see 3.5.1. Control Panel Access Lock).

How to configure Access Control
The Access Control page has three main sections for the three main actions that can be performed:
•

Sign-in methods: this section shows the enabled sign-in methods that can be used to sign in to the device.

•

Device user accounts: in this section you can create, edit or delete the user accounts that are available on
the printer.

•

Sign-in and permission policies: here you can set up the sign-in requirements for specific tasks and restrict
user access by role.

Figure 1 - Access Control page

a. Sign-in methods
This section shows the enabled sign-in methods that can be used to sign in on the device.
Currently, the only available sign-in method is Local device, local accounts that have access codes between
4 and 8 digits long and are stored on the product’s hard disk.

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

Security Features

Figure 2 - Sign-in methods

b. Device user accounts
In this section, there are four actions available:
•

New: to add a new user account.

•

Edit: to edit the selected user account.

•

Delete: to delete the selected user account.

•

Delete all: to delete all the user accounts.

Figure 3 - Empty user accounts list

To add a new user:
•

Click the New button; a section is expanded. It is required to fill in the name and password fields.

•

It is possible to change the User access code and the Permission that is set. You can select from the
following permission roles.

Admin user

This role has all the access privileges granted to it and cannot be edited.

Device user

This role has some access privileges granted to it that can be edited in the Access
Control page.

Guest user

This role has some access privileges granted to it that can be edited in the Access
Control page.

Figure 4 - Creating a user account

After adding the user, you will see the following screen.

Figure 5 - User accounts list

c. Sign-in and permissions policies
You can change the permissions for the roles guest and user. Select the permissions and click Apply.

Figure 6 - Defining permissions

Note: Users have at least the Guest permission.
Note: Any app that forces the user to log in will cause the Guest column to be disabled.

Front Panel log in
When the user clicks on any blocked function for the first time, a window appears. The user must enter in his/her
password. Session expiration can be managed in Settings.
To log in as Admin, click the menu in the corner.

2.2.4.3

Deadlock: Front Panel locked + EWS password forgotten

Under certain circumstances, a printer might become inaccessible if the control panel has been locked and the
administrator has lost the password needed to unlock it. This could happen if the front panel is locked through the
printer’s Embedded Web Server and the Administrative password for the EWS is lost. In this situation, it would not be
possible to unlock the front panel from the Embedded Web Server and it would not be possible to reset the
Embedded Web Server from the front panel.
Note: If the printer’s front panel becomes locked and you are unable to unlock it, then you should contact HP support
as soon as possible.
2.2.5
•

SCL certificates
Jetdirect identity certificate
You can request, install, and manage digital certificates on the HP Jetdirect print server. Certificates are used
to identify the Jetdirect print server both as a valid web server for network clients, and as a valid client
requesting access on a secure network. By default, the Jetdirect print server contains a self-signed, preinstalled certificate.

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

•

Security Features

Certificate Authority certificate
You can install and manage a CA certificates in the printer. The CA certificate is used to validate the identity
of the network servers you may connect to, such as SSL or LDAP servers secured with SSL.

2.2.6

Embedded Web Server (EWS) access control

The Embedded Web Server is a powerful tool which enables direct management of devices such as the HP LaserJet
or the HP DesignJet printers. With no security in place, however, this tool also has the potential to have a negative
effect on many features, as they can be configured using just a web browser and knowing the IP address of the
printer. To solve this situation, we have implemented two levels of access to our compatible HP DesignJet printers.
The Security page enables users to:
•

Restrict access to the printer by setting an administrator user account.

•

Define two levels of access: Administrator and Guest (Guest account not available in HP PageWide).

If the two levels of access have been set, and you have neither of the passwords, then you will not be able to gain
access to the EWS information, as in the image below.

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

2.2.6.1

Security Features

Administrator password

Access control is enabled by setting the Admin account password, i.e. specifying a password for the user account at
admin level. You must then provide the admin password to perform any of the following restricted operations:
•

Cancel, delete or preview a job in the job queue.

•

Delete a stored job.

•

Clear accounting information and configure cost assignment, in some models.

•

Change printer settings on the Device Setup page.

•

Access the setup tab to configure the printer.

•

View protected printer information pages.

•

Access the Customer Involvement Program page.

•

Access the Service Support.

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

Security Features

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

Security Features

If there is no administrator account, then the restricted operations can be accessed without a password.

2.2.6.2

Guest password

Once the administrator user account has been set, the administrator can also set up a guest user account by
specifying a password for the guest.
If the guest user account is set up, a username and password are required for all EWS operations: users identified as
guests have access to restricted operations, whilst users identified as administrators have access to all operations.
If the guest account is not set up, a username and password are not required for unrestricted operations.

Notes:
•

Some printers only have 1-level password access to the Embedded Web Server.

•

The networking tab of the Embedded Web Server asks for another admin account and password. This
password is synchronized with the admin password for the complete EWS.

•

For most printers that have EWS password capability, it is also possible to setup the admin password
through Web Jetadmin. Only one level can be set in this way, however, so the guest password cannot be
set up from Web Jetadmin.

•

Passwords have no minimum complexity requirements, the maximum length is 16 characters.

•

Printers with touchscreen front panels only allow the use of the limited set of characters shown below
(capital letters are also supported).

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

Security Features

•

These limitations do not apply to printers without touchscreen front panels, as the password can be set
using EWS.

•

Some printer drivers rely on the EWS for creating the preview. In cases where an administrator password
is set, the administrator password will be required to access job preview.

2.2.7

USB drive control

All printers allow you to control the USB use, in two ways:
•

USB drive: enable or disable the use of the USB to print or scan.

•

Firmware upgrade from USB: enable or disable the possibility of upgrading the firmware from a USB.

These features are available in the control panel, the Embedded Web Server and Web Jetadmin.

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

2.2.8

Security Features

Jetdirect Security Wizard (HP T9x0-T15x0-T25x0-T3500-PageWide XL)

The HP Jetdirect Security Configuration Wizard enables you to configure security settings for HP Jetdirect print server
management. There are 3 levels of Network Security that can be set:

Basic

Configure an admin password that is shared on other tools such as Telnet and SNMPv1/v2.

Enhanced

Disable unsecure management protocols (FTP, Telnet, RCFG, SNMP v1/v2c).
Enable SNMPv3.
Enable SNMPv1/v2 read only access.

Custom

2.2.9

Manually adjust all the settings.

Hide IP from front panel

Some printers include an option in the Service Menu, accessible with the help of an HP Support agent only, that
enables you to hide all IP information from the printer’s front panel. This prevents that people physically around the
printer could obtain the IP and connect to it.
20

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

2.3
2.3.1

Security Features

Data security: encrypted communications
IPSec

A Firewall or IP Security (IPsec) policy enables you to control traffic to or from the device by using network-layer
protocols. Either a firewall or IPsec/firewall pages will appear, depending on whether IPsec is supported by the print
server and device. If IPsec is not supported, firewall pages will be displayed and a firewall policy can be configured.
Please note: Before you enable a firewall or IPsec policy, you should make sure that access to your configuration
management settings is secured (for example, through an administrator password). This will ensure that your policy
is not easily disabled through Telnet, control panel menus, or other management tools.
Firewall. Use this page to view or configure a firewall policy. A firewall policy consists of up to 10 rules, where each
rule specifies the IP addresses and services that are allowed by the print server and device. To add a rule, click Add
Rule. This setting runs a wizard that will help you to configure each rule.
IPsec/Firewall. Use this page to view or configure an IPsec/firewall policy. An IPsec/firewall policy consists of up to
10 rules. As with a firewall policy, each rule specifies the IP addresses and services that are allowed by the print
server and device. With IPsec support, you can apply IPsec authentication and encryption protocols for those
addresses and services. To add a rule, click Add Rule. This runs a wizard that will help you to configure each rule.
For a detailed description of wizard settings and additional help, visit Jetdirect IPsec/Firewall Help.
2.3.2

Encrypt web communications

You can securely manage your network-connected printers using a web browser and the HTTPS protocol. To
authenticate the HP Jetdirect web server when HTTPS is used, you may configure a certificate, or you may use the
pre-installed, self-signed X.509 Certificate. The encryption strength specifies what ciphers the web server will use
for secure communications. Supported cipher suites can be checked at EWS.

When you enable encryption, the web server encrypts all web communication, forcing all connections to use HTTPS.
You can also configure encryption options to allow both HTTP (unencrypted) and HTTPS connections. In secure
environments, you should choose to encrypt all web communications. Otherwise, sensitive management data
(administrator password, SNMP community names, and secret keys) may be compromised.
2.3.3

Access control list

This feature lets you determine the access control list (ACL), which is used to specify the IP addresses on your
network that are allowed access to the device. The ACL is normally used for security purposes and supports up to 10
entries. The device blocks communications from all other addresses. If the list is empty, any system is allowed
access. By default, host systems with HTTP connections (such as web browser or IPP connections) are allowed access
regardless of ACL entries. This allows hosts to access the device when proxy servers or Network Address Translators
21

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

Security Features

(NATs) are used. However, unfiltered access by HTTP hosts may be disabled by clearing the Check ACL for HTTP
checkbox.
Host systems that have access are specified by their IP host or network address. If the network contains subnets, an
address mask may be used to specify whether the IP address entry is for an individual host system or a group of host
systems. For an individual host system, the mask “255.255.255.255” is assumed and is not required.
CAUTION! You may lose your ability to communicate with the device if your system is not properly specified in the
list, or access through HTTP is disabled. If communication with the device is lost, then it may be necessary to restore
the network settings to their factory-default values.
2.3.4

802.1X authentication

802.1X is an IEEE Standard for port-based Network Access Control. It provides an authentication mechanism for
devices that want to connect to a LAN.
For most 802.1X networks, the infrastructure components (such as LAN switches) must use 802.1X protocols to
control a port's access to the network. If these ports do not allow partial or guest access, then the print server may
need to be configured with your 802.1X parameters prior to connection.
To configure initial 802.1X settings before connecting to your network, you can use an isolated LAN, or a direct
computer connection via a cross-over cable.
The supported 802.1X authentication protocols and associated configuration depend on the print server model and
firmware version.

2.4

Authentication

2.5

Protected data in storage

2.5.1

Self-encrypted hard disk

The Self Encrypted hard disk ensures data is automatically encrypted every time data is sent to the printer and is
written to the drive. This is achieved using AES 256-bit encryption.
2.5.2

Secure File Erase (SFE)

Secure File Erase is a feature that manages how files are deleted from the printer’s hard disk.
There are three security modes in the Secure Files Erase feature. These settings can be changed via Web Jetadmin,
EWS and control panel (via the Service Menu with the HP support representative help).
•

Non-Secure Fast Erase: In this mode, all file pointers to the data (table indexes) are erased. Temporary
data remains on the Hard Disk Drive until the disk space it occupies is needed for another purpose, and is
then overwritten. This is the fastest mode of operation and is the default for all printers.

•

Secure Fast Erase: In this mode of operation, file pointers are erased and the disk space where the
temporary job was stored is also overwritten with a fixed character pattern. This mode of operation is
slower than Non-Secure Fast Erase, but all data is overwritten.

•

Secure Sanitizing Erase: In this mode of operation, file pointers are erased and the disk space where the
temporary job was stored is repeatedly overwritten using an algorithm that prevents any residual data.
This mode of operation may affect product performance. The Secure Sanitizing Erase mode of operation
meets the US Department of Defense 5220.22-M requirements for clearing and sanitization of disk media.
When the Secure Sanitizing Erase feature is enabled, all temporary files that might contain sensitive data
are erased with this method. No temporary files are left after a job has been completed (scan, copy, or
print).

Furthermore, if you do not want to store jobs in the printer, you can set the number of jobs to be stored in the printer’s
queue to 0. To configure this setting, perform the following steps:
22

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

•

Go to the printer’s front panel,

•

Select the Setup menu.

•

Select Job management setup.

Security Features

For further information, refer to the printer’s user manual, as the actual menu options may differ for a specific printer.
The following is an example of how to change the Secure File Erase setting for the HP DesignJet T1100 printer.

2.5.3

Secure Disk Erase (SDE)

In either of the two secure methods described above (Secure Fast Erase and Secure Sanitizing Erase), there is also
the option to sanitize the whole disk. The sanitizing method removes any user data in a secure manner, so that the
device can safely be moved from a secure location to an unsecure location. All disk erasing will be carried out via the
same level of security erase.
This setting can be used via Web Jetadmin, EWS or the Control Panel’s Service menu, which is only accessible with
the help of an HP Support representative.
•

HP Web Jetadmin access: The user interface that manages the Secure File Erase and Secure Disk Erase
functionality is the HP Web Jetadmin. This is the same functionality that is used in the Web Jetadmin device
plug-ins for LaserJet printers, which enables you to set the same global options across your fleet of HP
LaserJets and HP DesignJets. The following example shows how to configure the HP DesignJet T2300
using the Web Jetadmin. Note that in the Web Jetadmin this option is called Secure Storage Erase.

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

•

Security Features

Printer Front Panel access: Once you have entered the Service Menu with the help of an HP Support
representative, you can perform the Secure Disk Erase using the same 3 options that you have in Web
Jetadmin. Note that the name of the feature in the front panel is Disk Wipe DoD 5220.220M, and that the
three options are called Insecure Mode, 1-pass mode and 5-pass mode.

Before you start the erase operation, you must first select the security level (sometimes referred to as sanity level).
The printer will then warn you that the erase operation is a process which deletes all data and takes a long time.
Once you accept, the printer will begin the process, and will display a progress bar until complete. All data will be
wiped using the selected method, and the printer’s firmware will be restored to the latest version installed before
this operation.
The following screens show how to perform a secure hard disk erase on the HP DesignJet T2300 printer.

Scan to network (HP DesignJet T2500, T2530, T3500 eMFP Series) SMB1

A scanned image may be saved on a USB flash drive or in a network folder. The USB flash drive option requires no
preparation, but the network folder option will not work until it has been set up in the following way.
1. Create a folder on a computer that the scanner can access through the network.
2. Create a user account on the same computer for the printer (scanner user).
3. Change the sharing options of the folder, so that it is shared with the scanner user, and assign full control of
the folder to that user.

Troubleshooting scan to network connectivity issues

If you are unable set the Scan to network, try the following:
•

Check that you have filled in each field correctly.

•

Check that the printer is connected to the network.

•

Check that the folder is shared.

•

Check that you can put files into the same folder from a different computer on the network, using the

•

Folder name should contain the share name of the folder.

•

User name should contain the name of the scanner user .

•

User password should contain the password of the scanner user.

•

Domain name should contain the name of the domain in which the user name exists. If the scanner
user does not belong to any domain, leave this field empty.

The server and folder names are used to connect to the shared folder by building a network folder path as
follows: \\server name\folder name.
For a network folder, enter the name or IP address of the remote computer, the name of the shared folder,
and the user name and password of the scanner user that you have already created on the remote computer.
Leave the user domain field empty unless the user is a member of a Windows domain. If the user is only a
local user of the remote computer, leave the field empty. You can use the name (instead of the IP address)
in the server name field only if the shared folder is on a Windows computer in the same local network. This
must be a simple name (up to 16 characters long) without a domain suffix (without any dots in the name).

Exclude personal info from accounting

You can enable or disable the option for the printer to send an e-mail containing accounting information. If you enable
this setting, you also need to fill in the destination of the report by using the Send accounting files to setting. Please
note that you also have to configure the e-mail server on the Setup Page.
In some cases, customers prefer not to send personal data from the printers via e-mail, and so the option to Exclude
Personal information from accounting e-mail is now available in the Embedded Web server. If this option is selected,
accounting e-mails will not contain personal information (user name, job name, and account ID will be left blank in
the accounting file sent by e-mail from the printer).
This option is typically used for managed print or pay-per-use contracts to ensure that only the data (counters)
relevant for billing are being sent by the printer. Personal information about who printed which file is not required
for billing purposes, and can be excluded from the accounting e-mail. This personal information is typically used for
cost allocation within a company.

2.5.7

Disable internet connection

Disable the direct connection of the printer to the internet. This option also prevents the printer from automatically
performing firmware upgrades.

After a job has been printed, it is stored in the printer and more copies can then be printed from the front
panel.

Print and Delete
•

Once printed, the job is automatically removed from the printer.

Retrieve from front panel (Personal Job)
•

Use the personal job printing feature to specify that a job cannot be printed until you release it from the
printer's front panel.

•

To preview it in the Embedded Web Server, you will need to enter the PIN.

Retrieve from front panel (Private Job)
•

Use the private job printing feature to specify that a job cannot be printed until you release it with a PIN.
First, select Retrieve from front panel (Private Job), then the PIN to print checkbox will be available. If
checked, a 4-digit personal identification number must be set. The PIN is sent to the device as part of the
print job. After sending the print job to the device, use the PIN to print the job. Once printed, it is
automatically removed from the printer.

•

To preview it in the Embedded Web Server or in the front panel, you will need to enter the PIN.

Note: Some Multifunction devices include the Scan job storage feature that has two options: Scan and delete (the job
is not stored in the scan job queue) and Scan and store (the job is kept in the scan job queue).
2.6.2

Security Glossary
HP DesignJet & PageWide XL printers

This glossary lists words and features you might hear or read in a security document.
Please note that the features and protocols listed are not all integrated into the HP DesignJet or PageWide XL
printers.

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

Security Features

Device protection related
BIOS
BIOS
The BIOS (basic input/output system) is the program used to get the printer system started after it is turned on.
HP Sure Start
It validates the integrity of the BIOS at every boot cycle. If a compromised version is discovered, the device
reboots using a safe, “golden copy” of the BIOS.
UEFI Secure Boot
Method to prevent the loading of unauthorized operating systems during the system startup. Based on the UEFI
Forum specification (www.uefi.org).

CONFIGURATION
Disable ports and protocols
It allows the administrator to select which protocols and services are enabled. Restricting the enabled protocols
to only those that are actually needed means the administrator can reduce the risk of vulnerability.
Instant-On Security
Devices supporting Instant-On Security features can be automatically added into the Security Manager as soon
as they are connected to the network or from reset without any intervention. Instant-On Security immediately
configures the device to be compliant with the corporate security policy.
SNMPv3
SNMP is a protocol to get and configure printer information. SNMPv3 is the encrypted version. When enabled,
only the client applications knowing the keys will be able to access the printer using this protocol.

FIRMWARE
HP signed firmware packages
Firmware packages are digitally signed by the HP Code Signing group. The printer uses the public key of this
group to verify the signature before installing the new firmware, thus ensuring that only legitimate firmware
from HP can be installed in the printer.
Only forward firmware security upgrades
Behavior of the firmware that prevents installation of older firmware releases that have known security
vulnerabilities.
RD only file system
Solution to guarantee that the firmware cannot be altered. It is based on configuring the filesystem where the
printer firmware is located as a read only partition.

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

Security Features

Remote firmware upgrade
This service allows an administrator to configure the printer to check for availability of new firmware versions
and prepare them to be installed. For the administration of large networks with several printers, HP recommends
using the HP Web Jetadmin software to upgrade the printer or multi-function printer firmware.
Whitelisting
Feature that ensures integrity of all the code and data used to control the printer, guaranteeing that no malicious
code can be executed

FRONT PANEL
Front Panel access lock
This feature allows the printer administrator to define which Front Panel menus and applications are available for
non-administrator users.
Hide IP address from front panel
An option in the Service Utilities menu of the front panel to show/hide the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your
printer. If the address is hidden, only registered users or network administrators will know the correct address to
submit jobs to the printer.

PASSWORDS
File system password
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
configuration changes 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.
Individual passwords
Each user that wants to interact with the printer must have a different password.

SECURITY EVENTS
Logging and auditing
System to monitor the security of the printers. It requires that the printer logs all the security events and uploads
them to a server. It also requires a tool to generate reports using server data. This feature is part of the Common
Criteria requirements.
Run-time intrusion detection
Detects anomalies during complex firmware and memory operations. In the event of an intrusion, the device
provides information on the intrusion and automatically reboots.

Security Features

Data protection related

AUTHENTICATION
802.1X
Protocol that the printer uses for its authentication in some networks.
Access control list
It allows the administrator to specify which IPv4 addresses on the network are allowed access to the device.
Authentication & authorization workflows with card readers
Users authenticate themselves using an ID card and a card reader before they can scan/copy/print.
Authentication & authorization walk-up workflows based on Argos OnBoard, ABC Imaging, HP Cost recovery
The users authenticate themselves by providing their identification and passwords through the printer Front
Panel. The printer connects to the specific server to get authorization for the required workflow. The user
information is then stored in the job accounting, thereby enabling cost recovery solutions.
HP Access Control
HP solution based on the OXP interface that offers secure workflows through authentication with LDAP, secure
pull printing and job accounting/cost allocation.
LDAP
Protocol used to access directory services to get information about users, devices, printers, etc. The most used
directory service is the Windows Active Directory.
LDAP authentication
The device requires a username and password from an LDAP directory. Currently using the LDAP directory as the
authentication source through an LDAP Bind. If users have LDAP Bind rights, they will be able to authenticate via
LDAP authentication.
Authenticated scan & copy w/ LDAP
Users identify themselves in the Front Panel and the MFP authenticates them against the LDAP server before
proceeding with the scan or copy. The MFP can then access the folder required by the user from the LDAP server
to store the scanned/copied file.
Authenticated scan & copy w/ Kerberos and LDAP
In some enterprise environments, devices can only copy files in a server using the ticket provided by Kerberos. In
this workflow, the users identify themselves in the Front Panel and the MFP authenticates them against the
Kerberos server before proceeding with the scan or copy. The MFP then gets the folder where the
copied/scanned file needs to be stored from the LDAP server.
Active directory
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
52

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

Security Features

domain names, exactly like Web sites, and any LDAP-compliant client – such as Windows, Mac, or Unix – can gain
access.
Kerberos
Authentication protocol that enables two devices in a network to demonstrate their identities in a secure way.
Kerberos is the authentication service in Windows networks.
NTLMv2
The authentication protocol used, among other cases, to access to SMB servers. The multi-function printers use
it to be allowed to write the scanned data into the network folders.
Role based access control
Different and dynamic roles can be defined in the printer and have different permissions about which
functionalities they are allowed to run. Users can be linked to a role. In this way, administrators will have a better
control over what they allow each user to do.
User authentication
The user is requested to authenticate at the device.

COMMUNICATIONS
Encrypted e-mail
It encrypts all e-mails sent by multi-function printers (i.e. scanned data) to protect the content from being read
by anyone that is not the intended recipient.
HTTPS
The standard secure (with authentication and encryption) version of the HTTP protocol. Printers and multifunction printers can be configured to use HTTPS when accessing the printer through the Embedded Web Server,
or printing through solutions that use HTTPS.
Protocol
A protocol is a set of rules and guidelines for communicating data. Rules are defined for each step and process
during the communication between two or more devices. Networks must follow these rules to successfully
transmit data.
SSL
A cryptographic protocol for internet secure communications. It is used, for example, by HTTPS.
X.509
A standard for certificates using public keys. The certificates are the base to encrypt data for secure data
transmission between devices connected to the internet.

STORAGE
ATA password protected disks
The disk of the printer is functional only after the printer BIOS authenticates itself by providing a password. It
protects information on the disk even if the disk is removed from the printer and installed in a PC.
Encrypted hard disk
Hard disk in which the data is stored applying an encryption method. This ensures that disk contents cannot be
read if the disk is removed from the printer and connected to a computer.
Secure file erase and disk erase
Procedures to ensure that actual data in storage systems is removed, avoiding any possibility of data recovery.
They are based on repeatedly writing multiple patterns in the areas were the original data was located.

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

Security Features

Secure sanitizing erase
It conforms to the U.S. Department of Defense 5220-22.M specification for deleting magnetically stored data.
Secure sanitizing erase uses multiple data overwrites to eliminate trace magnetic data and also prevents
subsequent analysis of the hard disk drive’s physical platters for the retrieval of data.
Secure storage
A solution to storage critical information encrypting it (using hardware such as TPM or a virtual TPM). It is a way to
add another protection barrier to protect information, even if the HDD has been accessed.

IP
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.
Firewall
Provides a simple way to configure which IP addresses can be accessed to/from the printer.
IPsec
Suite of protocols for securing communications over Internet Protocol (IP). It authenticates and/or encrypts every
IP package. It is a way to secure data transmission without using upper protocols such as SSL, TLS or SSH.

VULNERABILITIES
TLS
The successor of SSL, which solves some of its vulnerabilities. It is used, for example, by HTTPS.

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

Security Features

Document protection related
On-demand document retrieval
It allows print jobs to be saved electronically in the device, or on an external server, until the authorized user is
ready to print them. The user provides a simple PIN code, or uses an authentication method supported for other
HP multi-function printers in walk-up operations, to release the print job.
Job held timeout
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.
Job retention
This feature provides job retention options such as private job and hold job. You will be able to make sure that
they are present during printing to provide privacy for documents in the printer output bins.
Private job recovery
When configured in this mode, the printer holds the jobs in the queue with a user identifier. User must identify
themselves in the FP. After the authentication, the users can see their jobs in the queue and trigger the printing.
Users can only see their own jobs in the queue.
Private printing
The job is retrieved from a specific printer, which has been selected prior to sending the job.
Pull printing
Documents can be retrieved from a pool of printers.
Secure PIN printing
Method to protect user printout from others to access. It works by holding the job in the printer queue until the
intended recipient of the printed output provides his/her PIN through the printer Front Panel.
Secure print
An end-to-end workflow in which the data is secured by encrypting it just from the submission point (i.e. in the
driver).
Smart card
A smart card will be required by the device to access a certain function.

HP DesignJet and PageWide XL Printers

Security Features

Authentication Manager (LJ feature)
This feature enables administrators to secure Device functions by requiring users to log in with a specific log in
method for each function. For example, users may be required to log in with an Access Code or PIN to make
copies, yet be required to log in with a username and password to send e-mails.
Log in methods: The following Log in methods are available with the latest device firmware upgrade:
•

Group 1 PIN: Requires users to input a numeric code for access when at the control panel of the device.
The numeric code entered by the walk-up user is compared to the first of two PINs stored on the device by
the Administrator. When the PIN is entered correctly, the user can proceed.

•

Group 2 PIN: Requires users to input a numeric code for access when at the control panel of the device.
The numeric code is compared to the second of two PINs stored on the device by the Administrator.

•

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol): Requires users to input a username and password that are
verified by an LDAP server.

•

HP Digital Send Service (if available): Also known as DSS. Requires users to enter credentials that are
verified by the HP Digital Send Service software. (HP Digital Send Service software must be available to use
this Log in method. If no DSS server is associated with this device, walk-up users will not be required to
authenticate before using the device.)

•

Kerberos: Requires users to enter a username and password to be verified by a Windows Server.
