Configure the printer’s firewall settings

Firewall features provide network-layer security on both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. 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 an SNMPv3 agent at the application layer for management application security, and 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.
