Protecting the Communication Path via a Device Certificate

This printer can protect its communication path and establish encrypted communications using SSL/TLS, IPsec, or IEEE 802.1X.

To use these protocols, it is necessary to create and install a device certificate for the printer in advance.

The following types of device certificate can be used:

Important

  • The administrator is required to manage the expiration of certificates and renew the certificates before they expire.

  • The administrator is required to check that the issuer of the certificate is valid.

  • If SHA256 or SHA512 is selected as the "Algorithm Signature" of the device certificate, Windows XP SP3 or later is required to connect the device using Internet Explorer 6.0.
