Security and Network Setup The network client and the web server (printing system) decide which protocol to use for data transfer and communication. The encryption level can be either secure or normal. Normal security in the SSL/TLS tab means that the user can access IPP or HTTP via http or https. For Normal security port 80, port 443, and port 631 are enabled. For Secure communication both IPP and HTPP can only be accessed through a secure (443) port, or via https. Digital Certificates SSL/TLS cannot be enabled unless a digital certificate has been installed on the system, using the Add Certificate button. Installing a digital certificate can only be done by someone with administrator privileges. The administrator selects SSL/TLS from the [Setup] Menu and clicks on the [Add Certificate] button. This invokes the Add Certificate wizard. There are two options regarding digital certificates. One option is Self-signed certificate. This is selected when no third party Certificate Authority is being used. Another option is Signed Certificate from a Certificate Authority. In this case, the administrator needs to supply the fully qualified domain name, IP address, organization and country of the Certificate Authority. If the choice is to use a Certificate Authority, all Certificate information needs to be held in a file and sent to the Certificate Authority. The Authority returns a valid certificate that must be installed on the system. NOTE: A self-signed certificate is not as secure as a certificate signed by a Certificate Authority. A self-signed certificate is the most convenient way to begin using SSL/ TLS and does not require the use of a server functioning as a Certificate Authority or a third party Certificate Authority. Once the Digital Certificate has been installed, the Enable SSL/TLS selection becomes available among the [Setup] options. At that time the administrator can select the mode of operation, Normal or Secure, from a drop-down menu. 3-8 System Guide

Security and Network Setup

System Guide
The network client and the web server (printing system)
decide which protocol to use for data transfer and
communication.
The encryption level can be either secure or normal. Normal
security in the SSL/TLS tab means that the user can access
IPP or HTTP via http or https. For Normal security port 80,
port 443, and port 631 are enabled. For Secure
communication both IPP and HTPP can only be accessed
through a secure (443) port, or via https.
Digital Certificates
SSL/TLS cannot be enabled unless a digital certificate has
been installed on the system, using the Add Certificate
button. Installing a digital certificate can only be done by
someone with administrator privileges.
The administrator selects SSL/TLS from the [Setup] Menu
and clicks on the [Add Certificate] button. This invokes the
Add Certificate wizard. There are two options regarding
digital certificates. One option is Self-signed certificate. This
is selected when no third party Certificate Authority is being
used.
Another option is Signed Certificate from a Certificate
Authority. In this case, the administrator needs to supply the
fully qualified domain name, IP address, organization and
country of the Certificate Authority.
If the choice is to use a Certificate Authority, all Certificate
information needs to be held in a file and sent to the
Certificate Authority. The Authority returns a valid certificate
that must be installed on the system.
NOTE:
A self-signed certificate is not as secure as a
certificate signed by a Certificate Authority. A self-signed
certificate is the most convenient way to begin using SSL/
TLS and does not require the use of a server functioning as a
Certificate Authority or a third party Certificate Authority.
Once the Digital Certificate has been installed, the Enable
SSL/TLS selection becomes available among the [Setup]
options. At that time the administrator can select the mode of
operation, Normal or Secure, from a drop-down menu.
