SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Encryption

This can be specified by the administrator.

To protect the communication path and establish encrypted communication, create and install the server certificate. There are two ways of installing a server certificate: create and install a self-certificate using the printer, or request a certificate from a certificate authority and install it.

Creating and installing the server certificate
Install the server certificate using Web Image Monitor.
Enabling SSL

Configuration flow (certificate issued by a certificate authority)

Creating the server certificate

The application procedure after creating the certificate depends on the certificate authority. Follow the procedure specified by the certificate authority.
