(LPR, Raw port 9100) to receive print jobs from remote clients. A network interface provided
connectivity allowing remote printing, as well as scanning to email, file, template, fax, twain, and
FAX to File, E-Mail and Print. An analog FAX accessory allowed the transmission and reception of
FAX over analog telephone lines. Internal to the system were processors, memory (RAM, ROM),
firmware, and hard disk storage. Management access control was provided by a combination of
administrator account (username and password), SNMP Community Names, SNMPv3
authentication keys, and IP Access Control Lists. A variety of management interfaces, including
SNMP, the Embedded Web Server (EWS) using HTTPS (TLS/SSL), DHCP, and BOOTP provide the
