On Firewalls
A firewall is a system that prevents unauthorized access to a local network from the outside.
When setting up the printer for a use over a network, disable the firewall of your security software during the
setup. Any firewall feature provided by security software may prevent proper setup or communication over
a network.
After setup is complete, turn back on any security functions you disabled for setup.
If you connect to a network that is not protected with security measures, there is a risk of disclosing
data such as your personal information to a third party.
For details on security functions and configuring network devices like access points, refer to the
manuals provided with those products, or contact their manufacturers.
If you disabled a firewall feature, disconnect your network from the Internet. You can do this by
configuring your access point or router not to connect to the Internet or WAN.
For information on the firewall feature of your security software, refer to its manual. In an office
setup, consult your network administrator.
