The firewall provides simple control of IP addresses that are allowed access. NOTE: In addition to firewall protection at the network layer, the printer also supports open secure sockets layer (SSL) standards at the transport layer for secure client-server applications, such as client-server authentication or HTTPS web browsing. For firewall operation on the printer, you must configure a firewall policy to apply to specified IP traffic. Firewall policy pages are accessed through the EWS and displayed by your web browser. After a policy is configured, it is not activated until you click Apply in the EWS. Creating and using firewall rules Firewall rules allow you to control IP traffic. Use firewall rules to allow or drop IP traffic based on IP addresses and services. Enter up to ten rules, each rule specifying the host addresses, services, and the action to take for those addresses and services. 220 Network setup
