HP Commercial LaserJet Printers and MFPs - Imaging and Printing Security Best Practices

Chapter 3 HP LaserJet and Color LaserJet MFP Security Checklist 40
2. Type a password of 8 to 16 characters in the Embedded Web Server
Password field (you should always type the maximum number of characters for
best security). This setting requires users to log on for parts of the EWS that provide
configuration options.
3. Repeat the password exactly in the Repeat Password field.
Note:
The Embedded Web Server Password is synchronized with the Device
Password (appears later in this checklist). If you change either the
Embedded Web Server password or the Device Password, the MFP will
configure both to be the same.
PJL Password
The PJL password protects the default features on the MFP that can be changed by sending PJL
commands to the MFP. The PJL password is required for administrative PJL commands that are used
to modify feature settings. To set the PJL Password:
1. Click PJL Password under the Security category (Figure 35).
Figure 35: The PJL Password option.
2. Type a password that is any number between 1 and 2147483647 that is at least
nine digits in length, and repeat it in the Repeat PJL Password field.
Note:
If you have problems configuring this password try configuring it through
the EWS.
