OVERVIEW HP Web Jetadmin is a printer management solution capable of discovering many different printing device models from various vendors. Once a printing device is discovered, the additional functions that can be performed and the device details that can be viewed depend on several factors listed here. GENERIC SUPPORT HP Web Jetadmin uses a variety of techniques in its queries to gather information from printing devices.
UNIVERSAL PLUG-INS Starting in HP Web Jetadmin 10.3 SR4, a Universal Plug-in (UPI) was introduced to represent a class of devices, hoping to make it easier to create configuration templates by narrowing down the configuration items by class rather than by device.
TROUBLESHOOTING PLUG-INS During device discoveries, Web Jetadmin attempts to determine the model name of a device. It then maps the model name to the appropriate device plug-in (either discreet or UPI) to display a proper bitmap and offer the desired amount of configuration items. Typically the interrogation of model name involves SNMP, but for FutureSmart devices Web Jetadmin may use web services (WS*).
displaying a better bitmap but claims Credential Failure for status, an EWS password has been set on the device and Web Jetadmin does not know it. Notice how the front panel display still claims and only the Trays gauges are present. In this scenario, right-click the device and select Update Credentials. If the EWS password is known, enter the user name and password and set it for the device. Click on another device and back to the original device to see full support.
This allows for “cloning” a device’s settings to be applied to multiple devices if desired. Right-clicking on a checkbox provides an option to “Check All” so that a device’s complete settings could be saved to a template and later applied to multiple devices. There will be a select few that will not automatically be checked in this case such as IP Address as that is a unique setting per device.
clear which device or device model a particular setting applies to, holding the mouse over the name in the configuration settings displays a tooltip with additional information. Configuration option availability depends on device model, network card and firmware revision. One model of device may support a configuration option for digital send functionality where another model, probably a single-function one, does not support that same configuration option.
marked in such a way that HP Web Jetadmin always uses them last in a configuration. These configuration items are: Security > LDAP - Accessing the Server Digital Sending > Activity Log Fax > Fax Reports and Logs (print or clear activity log) Security > Disable Direct Ports Network > Protocol Stacks Network > IPv4 Information, which includes Subnet Mask and Gateway (both single and batch configurations) Wireless > 802.
Example of a Configuration File IP Addr 16.24.1.30 Port 1 Asset Number Abc10044 NOTE: The first column is always the device identification, which can be an IP address, MAC address, or IP hostname. The second column is always the port. For HP devices, the port is 1, unless a device is attached to a multiport print server. For third-party devices, the port must be , which is case-sensitive. If you specify anything else for thirdparty devices, the import fails.

DEFINITIONS AND FEATURES TABLES The remainder of this document includes two tables: Definitions for device configuration options—Contains definitions for most of the configuration items HP Web Jetadmin supports. The items in yellow include those which are specific to a network card instead of a printer. Since it is unknown which NIC resides in a printer in many cases, those items will not be included in the matrix that follows.
Device Alternative Letterhead Mode Asset Number This option defines the first side of the duplex page as having letterhead and the other side having no letterhead. Auto Cleaning Page This option enables and disables the automatic cleaning page. You can specify how often you want to print the automatic cleaning page. Auto Continue When the device displays a non-critical error message, this option allows the device to resume operation after ten seconds.
Courier Font Type This option allows you to choose whether the regular courier font or a dark font is used. This setting does not affect fax or copy jobs, but does apply to the internal reports which contain a Courier font. The regular TrueType Courier font prints somewhat lighter than the bitmap fonts for the same. Date/Time Format Use this option to specify the format for dates and times as displayed on the device.
Home Screen Language Selection Use this configuration option to show or hide the language Selection button on your device. You can also select up to four alternate languages and keyboard layout languages. I/O Timeout to End Print Job This option lets you select the amount of time the device should wait between packets of data on a print job before canceling that job, between 15 seconds and 5 minutes.
OXPd Authentication Agents OXPd authentication agent files contain the information that OXPd-enabled devices require to contact OXPd authentication servers and authenticate users who are signing in on the device. Use this option to manage the OXPd authentication agents that are stored on the device. OXPd Authorization Proxy Configuration OXPd authorization proxy files contain the information that OXPd-enabled devices require to access OXPd authorization agents from third-party solutions.
Restore Modes Use this option to restore all fuser modes to their default or factory settings. Rotate Offset Use this to enable or disable Rotate Offset, which allows you to print multiple copies of a job in alternate orientations. Show Date and Time Use this option to enable the printer to hide or display the date and time on the device control panel.
Status Page Language This option lets you specify the device personality (PCL, PostScript, Text, or HP-GL2) that the HP Jetdirect print server uses when it sends a status page to the device. You might need to change the status page language to accommodate a particular printing device. For example, a PostScript printer might not be able to understand the default PCL print page that an HP Jetdirect print server sends.
Estimated Supplies Levels Image Fuser Kit Low Threshold Image Fuser Kit Very Low Action Image Transfer Kit Very Low Action Image Transfer Kit Low Threshold By default, HP Web Jetadmin displays the estimated supplies levels in 10% increments. For some devices, you can choose to display the estimated supplies levels in 1% increments instead of 10% increments. However, displaying the estimated supplies levels in 1% increments does not imply a 1% level of accuracy.
Copy Background Cleanup Use this option to set the default amount of background to be removed from the original document being scanned. For example, if a higher value is set then more of the background is removed from the original. Copy Content Orientation Use this option to specify the default orientation for the scan job and binding format of the original document and the print job.
Default Number of Copies This option lets you specify the default number of copies that are printed for each copy job. If you want to take advantage of the one-touch copying feature, change the default to the number of copies that users typically print. This eliminates the need for users to specify the number of copies at the control panel each time they make copies. Default Number of Sides This option lets you specify if one side or both sides of the original are copied.
DNS Server If your network uses Domain Name System (DNS) services, use this option to specify the IP address of a primary DNS server for specified devices. If a secondary DNS server is available on your network and can be configured on the device, you may also specify the IP address of the secondary DNS server, which is used when the primary DNS server is not available. Use Domain Name to specify a Domain Name for this device.
Job Timeout This value represents (in seconds) the maximum time of inactivity which must elapse before the print server card switches from the current network protocol to another when a normal end of a print job is not detected. For external HP Jetdirect print servers, allowable values are zero, and from 30 to 3,600 seconds. For internal HP Jetdirect print servers, allowable values are zero, and from 30 to 127 seconds.
SNMP Trap Destination Table Support Contact HP Web Jetadmin runs a background trap-server utility that is used to receive HP Jetdirect traps and alerts, and can route alert notifications to email addresses. However, some networks may require that specific network servers and management applications receive SNMP traps. This feature allows you to specify different trap-management servers along with the use of special trap community names and supported SNMP agents.
Security 802.1X Authentication Use this option to specify the 802.1X authentication settings on the HP Jetdirect print server required for client authentication on the network. You can also use this option to reset the 802.1X authentication settings to the factory-default values. 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.
Default Sign In Method (Replaced by Access Control for Device Functions) Device User Accounts This option lets you specify the sign in method for accessing the device. You should select the method that best suits the needs of your organization. You can choose a local sign in or alternative sign in methods such as a user's Windows login. Digital Sending Service The Digital Sending Service is an independent HP product that allows you to configure digital sending.
LDAP - Accessing the Server This option lets you specify how the digital send device accesses the LDAP server to look up email addresses. To send scanned documents from the digital send device through email, the user must provide an email address. The process of entering email addresses can be simplified by providing an address lookup list and using an auto-complete feature.
SNMP Version Access Control SNMPv3 protects network management information through user authentication and data encryption. You can use SNMPv3 to prevent unauthorized users from viewing or changing device settings. You can require SNMPv3 to view or change information on a device. Or, you can allow SNMPv1 readonly access to the device, while requiring SNMPv3 to change information on a device. Enabling SNMPv3 protects the information sent between HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 and a device by encrypting the data.
Fax General This option lets you specify advanced fax settings for the digital send device. You can specify the modem and ringer volumes, whether the header information is overlaid on top of the fax image, and whether the fax device should use JBIG compression or Error Correction Mode (ECM). Printing the header over the top of the fax image instead of above it reduces the chance that each faxed page is larger than the selected paper size and prints as two pages on the receiving fax device.
Fax Receive Settings Fax Reporting and Error Correction Fax Reports and Logs Use this option to specify the fax receive settings. You can specify which bins the faxes are delivered to, how the faxes are formatted for printing, the number of rings each fax device waits before answering an incoming call, and whether each device should forward the fax document to another fax capable machine.
TCF Settings Use this option to optimize fax performance by fine tuning the fax ring frequency and TCF signals to best suit the needs of your organization. If your fax device is having trouble sending outbound faxes, increasing the TCF delay and extending the TCF signal may improve communication with difficult fax receivers. TCF is a series of zeros sent to the receiver to confirm that the connection is working and to establish the optimal connection speed.
Secure File Erase Mode This option determines the behavior of a secure storage erase operation and the erase operation that a device automatically performs to make space available on a hard disk drive for incoming print jobs. The secure erase operation is designed to prevent unauthorized users from accessing confidential information from a device's hard disk drive or other erasable storage device.
Digital Sending - Default 'From:' Address (Replaced by Network Folder Scan Settings) This option lets you specify the From address and subject information that initially appears in all email messages sent from the digital send device. The digital send device uses these settings as the initial From address and subject line for each email message it generates. You can also specify whether the digital send device user has permission to change the default From address at the device.
Enable Send To Email This option lets you configure the device to send scanned documents as an email. The device may require additional configuration settings in order to send email, such as an outgoing SMTP server or other default email settings. This feature eliminates the need to scan the media remotely, save it to file, and then send it in an email from a computer.
Send to Network Folder MSeries or later This option lets you send documents to a network folder. There is a list of predefined folders. You can set the default document setting to apply to documents sent to a network folder. SMTP Gateway Settings (Replaced by Outgoing Servers) This option lets you specify the SMTP gateway settings for the digital send device.
