PostScript Passwords

The PostScript language includes commands that allow PostScript print jobs to change the printer
configuration. By default, PostScript jobs can use these commands, and a password is not required. To
ensure that unauthorized changes are not made, you can require PostScript jobs to include a password.
You can enable the following passwords:
Run Start Job: This password controls the execution of the Sys/Start file.
•
• System Parameters Password: This password controls the execution of PostScript programs that
modify PostScript system parameters.
• Start Job Password: This password is used with the Startjob and Exitserver operators to restrict
PostScript jobs from running unencapsulated. This prevents unencapsulated jobs from changing
default printer settings.
