The printer has a self‑generated certificate. For some operations (such as 802.1X and IPsec), the printer certificate
needs to be upgraded to a certificate that has been signed by a certificate authority.
The printer includes a process of generating a certificate signing request that can be viewed or downloaded, which
facilitates the process of obtaining the signed certificate for the printer.
1 From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Security > Certificate Management > Set Certificate Defaults.
2 Update the information on the device to fit your organization, and then click Submit. For more information, see
“Setting certificate defaults” on page 27.
3 From the Certificate Management page, click Device Certificate Management.
Notes:
• This window lets the device administrator load a new device certificate, delete all device certificates, and
view previously installed device certificates. To view more details of an installed device certificate or delete a
device certificate, click on the certificate common name link under Friendly Name.
• If you are configuring a new device, then a default self‑signed certificate can be viewed on this page.
4 Select the link for the preferred device certificate to obtain the certificate signing request information.
Notes:
• You may use the link to the default certificate created in step 2 or another named certificate. The certificate
information is displayed.
• To create other certificates, select New to open a Certificate Generation Parameters page. For more
information, see
“Creating a new device certificate” on page 26.
5 Click Download Signing Request, and then save and open the .csr file with a text editor.
Note: The file data is displayed in a standard format that includes the base‑64 representation in the application
window. Copy and save that information for later use.
