Overview6OverviewUse this document to manage and configure printer, scan, fax, network and security settings using theEmbedded Web Server. To secure the printer, combine login methods and access controls to define users whoare allowed to use the printer, and the functions they can use.Using the Embedded Web Server, you can configure the Lexmark printer to conform to the Common Criteriacertified target of evaluation. For more information, see the Lexmark Common Criteria Installation Supplementand Administrator Guide.Before you begin, make sure that the printer settings have been configured for e‑mail. For more information,see the printer User’s Guide.Also, identify the following conditions: The login method to use– Local accounts—Use the authentication methods available on the printer. User credentials are storedin the printer memory.––––Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)Generic Security Services Application Program Interface (LDAP GSSAPI)KerberosActive Directory Other solutions that you want to include– Smart Card Authentication—A collection of applications used to secure access to printers and theirfunctions. The applications let you log in to a printer manually or using a smart card, and then securelysend e-mails and release print jobs. You can also configure more security settings in an application, suchas e-mail signing and encryption.– Card Authentication—Secure access to a printer using a card reader. When users badge in, theircredentials are authenticated using a master printer, LDAP, Lexmark Document Distributor (LDD), oridentity service providers (ISP).Note: For more information, see the Administrator’s Guide for the solution. The group where the users belong to. You can create groups after creating the login methods. The applications, functions, and printer management settings that users can access.You may need administrative rights to configure or troubleshoot the security settings.Supported printersMultifunctionproductsLexmark CX331, CX421, CX431, CX522, CX622, CX625, CX725, CX727, CX820, CX825, CX827,CX860, CX920, CX921, CX922, CX923, CX924, MB2236, MB2338, MB2442, MB2546, MB2650,MB2770, MB3442, MC2325, MC2425, MC2535, MC2640, MC3224, MC3326, MC3426, MX321,MX331, MX421, MX431, MX521, MX522, MX622, MX721, MX722, MX725, MX822, MX826, XC2235,XC2240, XC4140, XC4150, XC4240, XC6152, XC8155, XC8160, XM5365, XM5370, XM7355,XM7370PrintersLexmark B2236, B2338, B2442, B2546, B2650, B2865, B3340, B3442, C2240, C2325, C2425,C2535, C3224, C3326, C3426, C4150, C6160, CS331, CS421, CS431, CS521, CS622, CS720,CS725, CS727, CS728, CS820, CS827, CS921, CS923, CS927, M5255, M5270, M5275, MS321,MS331, MS421, MS431, MS521, MS621, MS622, MS725, MS821, MS822, MS823, MS825, MS826
