Chapter 1 HP LaserJet and Color LaserJet MFP Security Checklist 1
Chapter 1: Introduction
This document is a security checklist for the following HP device models:
• HP Scanjet Enterprise 7000n
• HP Color LaserJet CP5520
• HP Color LaserJet CM4540 MFP
• HP LaserJet M4555 MFP
This checklist is
written for acceptance by the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST), and it will be available at the NIST Checklist website.
This checklist is meant for trained network administrators who use HP Web Jetadmin version 10.1
or above in enterprise networks. It includes step-by-step instructions to configure one or more MFPs
on a network.
This checklist assumes that network administrators are familiar with HP Web Jetadmin and
management of HP MFPs and printers. Network administrators should be familiar with the MFP
Embedded Web Server (EWS), HP Jetdirect, and firmware upgrades for Jetdirect and MFPs. Refer
to the MFP User Guides and the HP Jetdirect Administrator Guide for more information. You can
find these documents and more information by searching for it at hp.com.
HP Web Jetadmin is the recommended management tool for all HP network printing and digital

more. It is available free for download and installation at the following location:

This checklist applies to most types of networks; however, it is developed and tested in the
following environment:
• An ordinary TCP/IP network
• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 8.0
• HP Web Jetadmin Version 10.2 installed on a Windows XP, Windows Vista PC, or
Windows Server 2008
• One of each supported MFP with the latest updated firmware found at hp.com
We developed the process for configuring this checklist using HP Web Jetadmin to manage all of
the MFPs at the same time.
This checklist covers only those parts of HP Web Jetadmin that pertain to appropriate security
settings. See the user guides, admin guides, and help files for information on other configurations.
