Configuring SSL Encryption

Configuring SSL Encryption

When accessing the printer using a Web Image Monitor or IPP, encrypted communication can be established using SSL. When accessing the printer using an application such as SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin, encrypted communication can be established using SNMPv3 or SSL.

To protect data from interception, analysis, and tampering, install a server certificate in the printer, negotiate a secure connection, and encrypt transmitted data.

Important

When using SSL, the optional hard disk or the data storage card are required.
