Printer Setup

  • Device Section
    • Enter the Conway Asset Tag under "Asset Number".
    • Enter the Physical Location under "Device Location".
    • Enter the Contact Information under "System Contact".
    • Make sure Date and Time and Time Zone are correct under "Date and Time".

  • Security Section
    • Ensure the printer's Access Control List is set to only allow printing from as few machines as possible, usually the Pharos Print Server for that respective printer.  Access Control Lists are set by IP.  Please note:  The subnet mask refers to the IP entered in the Access Control List.  For example, to allow printing from a specific subnet enter 130.64.xxx.0 as the IP Address and use a mask of 255.255.255.0.  To allow printing from a specific machine, enter 130.64.xxx.yyy as the IP and 255.255.255.255 as the mask.
    • Set Disable Direct PortsTurn to Yes to turn off external physical ports such as USB and parallel ports.
    • Set Control Panel Access to Intermediate Lock.
    • Set Embedded Web Server Password
    • Set SNMP Community Name under "Get Community Name"
