PostScript Passwords

The PostScript language includes commands that allow PostScript print jobs to change the printer's
configuration. By default, this capability is allowed. To ensure that unauthorized changes are not made,
you can require PostScript jobs to include a password.
You can enable the following password:
Run Start Job: This password controls the execution of the Sys/Start file.
•
You can create the following passwords:
System Parameters Password: This password can be used to control the execution of PostScript
•
snippets.
• Start Job Password: The Start Job password, used with the Startjob and Exitserver operators,
restricts PostScript jobs from running unencapsulated to prevent them from changing default
settings.
• For more information on these passwords, see CentreWare IS help.
To enable or create these passwords:
Note: If your printer is locked, you must log in as a system administrator. For details, see
CentreWare IS on page 17.

feature.
