7.6 Security Features
This section explains various security features of the printer and how to configure them. The
information in this section is intended for the system administrator of the printer. For details
on each feature, refer to the reference pages in the following table.
SSL Data Encryption for HTTP Communication
This feature is not supported on the models available in China.
If the network expansion card (optional) is installed, enabling SSL/TLS server
communication allows you to encrypt HTTP communication between the printer and client
computers over a network.
There are two ports that support HTTP communication: internet service port and IPP port.
If you use this feature, you can encrypt information exchanged between the printer and
CentreWare Internet Services, and print data sent to the printer using an IPP port.
To encrypt data transmission, SSL/TLS protocol must be used. To encode encrypted data,
a certificate for SSL/TLS is required.
The certificate can be created using CentreWare Internet Services.
