Using 802.1x authentication
802.1x authentication allows the printer to join networks that require authentication before allowing access.
Support for 802.1x requires the establishment of credentials for the printer, such as certificates. Certificates provide
a way for the printer to be known to the Authentication Server (AS). The AS allows network access to print servers
presenting a valid set of credentials. You can manage the credentials by using the Embedded Web Server.
To install and use certificates as part of the credentials:
1 Open a Web browser. In the address bar, type the IP address of the printer or print server to be protected using
the format: http://ip_address/.
2 Click Configuration.
3 Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports.
4 Click Certificate Management.
To enable and configure 802.1x after installing the required certificates:
1 Open a Web browser. In the address bar, type the IP address of the printer or print server to be protected using
the format: http://ip_address/.
2 Click Configuration.
3 Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports.
4 Click 802.1x Authentication.
