HP CM1415fn Color, CM1415fnw Color manual Security Concerns, Disabling USB storage Devices

SECURITY CONCERNS

Write permissions

Each time the printer is powered on, it will perform a boot-up sequence. During the boot-up sequence, the printer detects all installed USB storage devices and configures them in a standard way for HP and non-HP applications. Users who leave USB storage devices installed during this boot-up sequence will notice that the printer stores folders and files on the device.

Also during this boot-up sequence, the printer will configure the device in such a way that network applications can read/write files to/from the USB storage device.

Users who do not want files written to the USB storage device must be careful to remove the USB storage device from the printer during the boot-up sequence.

Disabling USB storage Devices

It is possible to disable “job retrieve” access to USB storage devices by configuring the printer using an SNMP (PML) OID, Web Jet Admin or the Embedded Web Server. This only prevents users from printing jobs from USB storage devices. It does not disable the USB ports or any networking read/write access to the device.

Disabling using EWS:

To get to the EWS, open a browser and type in the printers IP address (192.168.0.0). At the EWS go to the Settings tab and then click on Security o the left navigational bar
